Forecasts

Ramiro (4/1), Pulsating (4/1), Kodiac Prince (9/2), Take My Hand (5/1), Youceeyouceecee (6/1), Billyfairplay (6/1), Joven (6/1), Eglish (10/1), Fall For A Kiss (12/1), Vormir (14/1), Juyush (14/1), Silk Cravat (16/1), Army Recruit (25/1), Agent Zero (28/1), Maccliff (33/1), Grey Hill (33/1), Starlight Red (33/1), Curly Girl (100/1)

BILLYFAIRPLAY has been running consistently well in defeat since racing resumed and he deserves to get his head in front for the first time on the turf. Youceeyouceecee is feared most having stepped up markedly from his reappearance to score at Cork 10 days ago, ahead of Kodiac Prince and Ramiro in a fiercely-competitive handicap.
