Forecasts

Bowensonfire (13/8), Polepatrick (5/2), Tonaghneave Well (4/1), Native Deal (9/2), Inoue (11/2), Kilwaughter (8/1), Chanceawetmorning (12/1), Parkgarve (12/1), Marlacoo (14/1), Feeling Game Ball (14/1), Bonnebosq (18/1), Mulroy Bay (22/1), Kanpai (25/1), She Can Do It (50/1), Donegal Star (100/1)

BOWENSONFIRE represents a top yard and is related to a bumper winner, so he looks the way to go without the market to guide. Tonaghneave and Inoue also make plenty of appeal on paper.
