Forecasts

Glib Speech (5/2), Getgo (9/2), Carvelas (9/2), Bog War (9/2), Spinning Pearl (7/1), Easy Boy (15/2), Lamh Ar Lamh (10/1), Manomine (10/1), Schoolboy Error (12/1), Miss Mirabeau (12/1), Pillard (16/1), Buddha's Secret (20/1), Jestival (20/1), Qasser (20/1), Im Waiting (25/1), Sinndar Sandy (33/1), Oromo (33/1)

GLIB SPEECH can gain reward for some good recent efforts by taking the concluding event on the card. The selection has a good draw in stall five and can reverse recent running with Bog War who has to defy a 6lb rise for his most recent victory. Carvelas is another to have won last time out though he has a poor draw in stall 12 and may have to settle for third today.
