Forecasts

Angels Dawn (15/8), The Waltzer (15/8), Emily Roebling (9/4), Eye Van (9/4), Pat's Pick (10/1), Golden Cosmos (10/1), Winter Carnival (25/1), Katherine (28/1), Glorious Singer (33/1), Hihoharry (66/1), Coconoir (300/1)

Verdict

EYE VAN arrives on the back of an excellent second in a Grade 3 at Clonmel so this looks a good opportunity for him to break his duck back in a maiden. Angels Dawn has also been placed in graded company but she spurned what looked a good chance at Punchestown last time. The Waltzer and Emily Roebling are best of the others.
