Forecasts

Yulong Gold Fairy (9/4), Quizical (5/1), Ball Girl (6/1), Captain Vancouver (8/1), The Broghie Man (11/1), Lisard Lady (12/1), Beach Wedding (12/1), Bronagh's Belle (12/1), Verhoyen (16/1), Cocohulababy (16/1), Apple Anni (20/1), Powersville (20/1), Red Persian (22/1), Vocal Music (33/1), Burmese Blazer (33/1), Sollertia (33/1), Spiorad Saoirse (33/1), Mango Mama (500/1), Lucia's Bob (500/1)

QUIZICAL, a maiden winner who ran well off a mark of 90 on his handicap debut last time out can reverse form with his Galway conqueror Yulong Gold Fairy by taking this valuable sales contest. The selection has proven he likes soft surfaces and this drop in trip shouldn't inconvenience him on this occasion. Of the remainder Lisard Lady was a rare two-year-old winner for trainer Tom Cooper when winning at Down Royal in July and she can claim third on this occasion.
