Forecasts

Mr Moondance (5/2), Breezy Bell (4/1), She'stherightone (11/2), Ashton Court (6/1), Benefit Run (15/2), Ciankyle (9/1), Jazz Ranger (9/1), Presenting Sun (14/1), Oskar High (14/1), Dunbar (16/1), Misty Mountain (16/1), Tyrrell's Succes (33/1), Tham Luang (33/1), Infuse (33/1), Presenting Mahler (40/1)

MR MOONDANCE ended a long losing run in style here 4 weeks ago, and is taken to follow up. Breezy Bell was seen to good effect at Ballinrobe but may do better still, while Ciankyle shaped as good as ever on his reappearance, so is another to consider.
