Forecasts

Elzaam Blue (11/2), Star Of Cashel (6/1), Timourid (13/2), Coill Na Sionainne (13/2), No More Porter (7/1), Breaking Story (10/1), Pretty Rebel (11/1), Mean Fomhair (11/1), Comfort Line (12/1), Affable (16/1), Eloquent Arthur (16/1), Higher Kingdom (16/1), Disco Boots (16/1), Zephron (16/1), Pulse Of Shanghai (20/1), Cosmic Vega (25/1), Imposing Supreme (25/1), Royal Pippen (40/1)

ELZAAM BLUE has made a good start to his career on Dundalk's AW in recent months and is taken to see off this largely much more exposed opposition now switching to the grass. Timourid made a solid start for the Paul Flynn yard at Leopardstown last month and heads the dangers along with the returning Coill Na Sionainne and Denis Hogan's Eloquent Arthur.
