Forecasts

Knockmark (5/6), Aeon's Aegis (7/2), Alfred Tennyson (4/1), Sweet Bay (13/2), Famed Again (10/1), Sandi O Mali (20/1), Tero D'rosa (66/1), Shanlieve (80/1), Four White Fury (125/1), Zammawar (200/1), Rising King (250/1), Posh Spirit (300/1), Glasheen Girl (300/1)

ALFRED TENNYSON is given one more chance in first-time blinkers. Ger Lyons Fairyhouse runner-up Knockmark is the obvious one to capitalise should the selection fail to deliver. Sweet Bay showed definite ability on Dundalk's AW at the start of the year and is next on the list.
