Forecasts

Mystic Theatre (10/11), Lesley Dawn (11/4), Just Janice (8/1), Creation (12/1), Dixie Lee (12/1), Classic Theatre (12/1)

MYSTIC THEATRE comes here on a six-timer and could well take all the beating given her form and front-running tactics. The Jessica Harrington-trained Lesley Dawn is interesting coming here from a 16L victory last time out in a Punchestown maiden hurdle in May.
