Forecasts

Facethepuckout (5/4), Silver Service (2/1), Dandy Belle (7/2), Arabic Channel (5/1), Cedars Of Lebanon (15/2), Andaleep (8/1), Sea The Night (12/1)

FACETHEPUCKOUT made a strong start in this sphere at Galway recently and might well collect with a mere repeat of that effort now. Silver Service has an additional 6lb to carry going up in trip after a sprint success at Tipperary but should mount a challenge while Dandy Belle has prospects for new connections starting out in a handicap for the first time.
