Forecasts

Womalko (5/4), Carnet De Stage (4/1), Donnrua Dream (6/1), Problem Solver (9/1), Hollywood West (9/1), Bergentown (10/1), Robindevidastar (10/1), The Ballyboys (11/1), Sefton Warrior (12/1), Greenhill Damsel (14/1), Name Me Famous (14/1), Happy Dreams (16/1), Ballyadam Destiny (20/1), Desertmore Glen (20/1), Close Enough (20/1), Zalika (20/1), Dalileo (25/1), Battle Of Benburb (28/1), Getaway Master (33/1), Kasakh Noir (66/1), Sulafaat (150/1)

WOMALKO was well backed prior to an improved showing at Cork 24 days ago and, with few miles on the clock, he's worth a chance to progress further and open his account in this competitive affair. Carnet de Stage is well treated in this sphere and put up a good effort in third at Fairyhouse last time, so he's regarded as the main threat ahead of The Ballyboys.
