Forecasts

Not For You (9/2), Bellgrove (8/1), Sea's Aria (8/1), Line View (9/1), Rufino (10/1), Floral Fantasy (12/1), Aranhill Rascal (14/1), Kemboy (14/1), Ballyfinboy (14/1), Too Many Notes (14/1), Adarenna (16/1), Urtheoneiwant (18/1), Rockshandy (20/1), Germany John (20/1), Balofilo (25/1), Killare Castle (25/1)

LINE VIEW made all to win at Tramore in January under today's rider and can repeat that performance off this 6lb higher mark today. Trainer James Dullea has a 67% strike-rate recently (2/3) and the selection can improve on that in this. Not For You was beaten 1½L at Killarney last time out and can claim second again today while Bellgrove is another to note here having finished fourth at Tipperary last week.
