Forecasts

Grangeclare West (2/11), Salvador Ziggy (15/2), Lady Bodeen (8/1), Time Marches On (10/1), Our Dylan (11/1), Zeydabad (12/1), Trot On (25/1), Vintage Writer (33/1), Wee Charlie (33/1), Mood Swinger (33/1), Watergrange Jack (50/1), Mixed Society (80/1), Quare Stave (100/1), Wexford Sage (100/1), Meetmeattheborder (125/1)

It's hard to see past GRANGECLARE WEST who cost a packet after winning his sole point and has joined a stable which dominates these events. Those with experience don't set the bar too high and the main threat may come from newcomers, with Lady Bodeen and Zeydabad likely types on paper.
