Forecasts

Elegant Dan (3/1), Basil's Boy (10/3), Stylish Moment (4/1), City Limits (9/2), The Wonky Tonk (8/1), Rebel Waltz (8/1), Yaiza (12/1), Novano (25/1), Presenting Cody (25/1), Garrison Commander (28/1), Major Jim (80/1)

THE WONKY TONK was strong at the finish when landing a 2m novice at Roscommon a month ago and with this step back up in trip sure to suit, the follow up may well be on the cards. Basil's Boy can remain competitive at this level, with Garrison Commander a potential improver now handicapping.
