Forecasts

Amhran Na Bhfiann (5/4), Twilight Payment (11/4), Search For A Song (4/1), Master Of Reality (6/1), Sunchart (10/1), Emperor Of The Sun (18/1), Lugnaquilla (33/1), Springbank (50/1)

Last year's Derby third AMRAN NA BHFIANN opened his account in some style at Dundalk on his reappearance and, with this step up in trip certain to suit, is faniced to follow up before tackling better company again. C&D winner Twilight Payment is another who will benefit from this stiffer stamina test so is feared most ahead of the returning Search For A Song.
