Forecasts

Spellacy's Cross (9/2), Toon Town (9/2), Baltinglass Hill (5/1), Andyourbirdcansing (11/2), Sea Of Doubt (7/1), Romella (10/1), Applejack Poet (11/1), The Eye Of Tulla (11/1), Castle Croiuil (12/1), Keep D Change (22/1), Katzoff (22/1), Esticky End (33/1)

TOON TOWN failed to land market support starting out for a new yard at Punchestown in January but at this sort of level, he's worth another chance on return. Spellacy's Cross can be forgiven his last run so he's a threat, along with Castle Croiuil, who may up his game now handicapping.
