Forecasts

Find A Fortune (5/4), Talk In The Park (9/4), Cato's Revenge (9/4), Castlebawn North (9/2), Great Universe (8/1), He's My Hero (12/1), Smallfreebirdsfly (14/1), Imperial Ode (25/1), Toonagh Warrior (33/1), Portnacoo (125/1)

CATO'S REVENGE has shown enough in bumpers nearly 2 years apart to suggest he can win one and gets the vote. Talk In The Park made an encouraging start at Limerick and is another to consider, while Find A Fortune and He's My Hero are a couple of newcomers to note.
