Forecasts

Verdict

This could be the day when CALICO deservedly gets her head in front. She has put in good shifts at Cork the last twice and a reproduction of either of those efforts would probably suffice here. Newcomer Knocknacree is an appealing type on paper and interest levels will heighten if the market speaks in his favour. Heather Bear is open to improvement and she is best of the rest.
