Forecasts

Coillte Aris (15/8), Young Fitzy (4/1), Any Day Now (7/1), Rising Dust (8/1), U Asking Me (17/2), Song For My Father (9/1), Suile Ban (10/1), Bearwithmenow (12/1), Rewrite The Script (16/1), Clyde The Glide (18/1), Glencourt Valley (20/1), Sineads Fancy (50/1), Justakeg (50/1), Roscomroe (66/1)

COILLTE ARIS arrives in good form and there could be more to come, so she's comfortably the most appealing in a race where most have something to prove. Any Day Now is the obvious danger 6 months on from scoring at Sligo and Bearwithmenow is of interest if the market speaks in his favour.
