Forecasts

Seasett (11/2), Jake Peter (13/2), Upthereforthinking (7/1), Spring Meadow (8/1), Tipp For Mac (9/1), Fromheretoeternity (10/1), Knockbrack Rambler (10/1), Hill Rocket (10/1), All Walks Of Life (10/1), Our Bobby (11/1), Sainte Baol (12/1), Marciano (16/1), Tullyveery Lad (18/1), Sovereign Duke (22/1), Champagne Saloon (25/1), Top Line Tommy (25/1), Mullaghmore Wave (25/1), Chatterbox (28/1), Blackcastle Storm (33/1)

SAINTE BAOL showed a bit more than previously when fourth at Ballinrobe last month and, with further improvement anticipated now stepping back up in trip, she's an appealing candidate. Top Line Tommy has good claims back over hurdles on the pick of his form, with 10-y-o Jake Peter another to consider following a good third at Clonmel recently.
