Forecasts

Downdraft (10/11), Cockalorum (5/1), Noble Kingsway (5/1), Feisty Katerina (15/2), Ishigati (10/1), Chaparral Dream (14/1), Tagle (14/1), Itsdacraic (16/1), Raise The Tempo (20/1), Remmy D (25/1), Clebourne (25/1), Bilboa Lane (28/1), Glow In The Dark (33/1), Gizi Gazelle (40/1), Boatrace (40/1), Mills On Tour (50/1), Moorepark Lad (100/1)

Cape Cross colt Cockalorum looks the only interesting newcomer here in a contest where it may be advisable to side with experience, particularly Joseph O'Brien's DOWNDRAFT who has looked like a drop in trip would suit in two promising career starts here last month. Feisty Katerina from the Brendan Duke yard can hit the frame if getting in to the race.
