Forecasts

Dumouriez (11/8), Power Of Now (5/2), Egrecio (6/1), Gee Rex (9/1), Flow Of Words (10/1), Pepperoni Pete (16/1), Shamalov (20/1), Vast Kingdom (20/1), Lawn Boy (25/1), Chutzpah (25/1), Wexford Land (25/1), Falcon Knight (28/1), Casting Call (33/1), Marshall Law (33/1), Ideal Pal (40/1), Focus Required (50/1), Lafayette Hill (50/1), Tosen Ciara (50/1), Film Noir (66/1), Starbella (100/1), Nanafullam (100/1), Arcland (100/1), Saor In Aisce (100/1)

POWER OF NOW has ran well on both previous starts and he can get off the mark at the third time of asking in this large field maiden. The selection placed at Galway last time out and can see off Gee Rex who is dropping markedly in grade here while third place can go to Dumouriez who finished a close third last time out.
