Forecasts

Areana (7/2), Ohmali (9/2), Calzaghi (5/1), God Knows (13/2), Ina Mina (15/2), Kevin The Great (10/1), Bucaneer's Spirit (12/1), Tartaraghan (12/1), Ribee (12/1), Doctor Grace (14/1), Loingseoir (14/1), Evangelic (14/1), Dancing Steve (16/1), Alto Sax (16/1), Spartan Warrior (20/1), Grey Fable (25/1), Miss Nifty (25/1)

Plenty of these arrive with claims and it may pay to take a chance on CALZAGHI. He's been given a break following a lesser run at Tipperary in the spring and having followed a similar path when opening his account over this trip last term, he could well be primed for a big run from a reduced mark. Ribee, Loingseoir and recent Naas scorer Areana head up the dangers, in that order.
