Forecasts

Broad Street (11/8), Rapture's Delight (5/2), Bit Of Banter (5/1), Lucius Tiberius (8/1), Paperback Writer (14/1), Leaderboard (14/1), Baliyad (16/1), Manfadh (25/1), Echo Park (33/1), All Saints Day (33/1), Chilterns (33/1), Jimmy Geronimo (50/1), Robert E Lee (66/1), Flying Focus (66/1)

BIT OF BANTER can step up on his sole start at two by taking this competitive looking 1m2f maiden contest. The selection is bred to appreciate this trip and he can get the better of recent Dundalk second Rapture's Delight who is making his first appearance on turf in this contest. Manfadh shaped well when making his debut at Dundalk recently and he can claim third stepping up in trip.
