Forecasts

Ash Tree Meadow (4/7), The Little Yank (11/4), Il Courra (13/2), Ferdia (20/1)

ASH TREE MEADOW confirmed previous promise upped in trip when running out a decisive winner of a Navan maiden sporting a first-time hood/tongue tie last month. With further improvement on the cards. Gordon Elliott's charge can defy a penalty. The Little Yank ran right up to his best at Leopardstown 5 days ago so he's selected for the forecast spot.
