Forecasts

Belfast Banter (1/2), One For Joe (10/3), Arthur Fonzarelli (7/1), Satin Sun (9/1), Springsteen's Girl (16/1), General Clermont (33/1), Minella Moment (33/1), Lobato (33/1), Top Question (40/1), Bright Sunbird (66/1), Its All Grace (100/1), Steps Match (100/1), Shannon Gray (100/1), Usain Boat (150/1), Kitty Galore (200/1), Bowser (200/1), Rio Storm (250/1)

BELFAST BANTER arrives in good nick and sets a high standard on form so is fancied to open his account at the chief expense of Arthur Fonzarelli, who rates a big threat if shrugging off a modest effort last time at Wexford. Satin Sun is less exposed than most so not ruled out either.
