Forecasts

Tronador (11/10), Miss March (9/2), Estepona Sun (5/1), Duleek Street (5/1), Lariat (13/2), Aleksey Tolstoy (8/1), Der Mc (11/1), Rips Dream (12/1), Sicario (12/1), Storm Steps (14/1), Wojood (14/1), Red Ball Of Fire (16/1), Fassbender (20/1), Little Brother (20/1), Queen Of Oriel (33/1), Katzoff (33/1), Self Assessed (40/1)

DULEEK shaped well when second at Dundalk in December and wasn't disgraced there the following month. He's likely to make a better 4yo and, as such, he gets the vote ahead of the well-treated Tronador and last-time-out winner Lariat.
