Forecasts

Quickstepping (15/8), Sli Na Ghealai (7/2), Sea The Boss (5/1), Ritournelle (13/2), Absolute Advantage (15/2), Kolachi (16/1), La Juliana (25/1), Madame Plaintiff (28/1), Sinbad My Dad (33/1), Always Wondering (33/1), Apollo Prince (40/1), Naisiun (66/1), Saxon Kingdom (80/1)

SLI NE GHEALAI displayed improved form when third at Roscommon and in receipt of weight of much, she's clearly the one to beat. Absolute Advantage has a bigger performance in him and is a definite threat, along with Quickstepping.
