Forecasts

Le Precieux (6/4), Master Of Finance (2/1), Gin And Tonic (7/2), Ballycamp (6/1)

BALLYCAMP has run well over this trip in the past and he can record a first Rules success by taking what looks a competitive four runner contest. Le Precieux is taken to claim second following a number of moderate efforts while third can go the way of Gin And Tonic who returns to fences and has run well over C&D in the past.
