Forecasts

Fugacious (11/10), Lady Savanah (13/2), Lady Boomerang (13/2), Sweettasteoflove (8/1), Tio Esteban (17/2), Fall For A Kiss (10/1), Rotokura (11/1), Agent Zero (20/1), Navorrosse (20/1), Rince Deireanach (22/1), Chagall (33/1), Harry Speed (33/1), Kefallonia (33/1), Royal Bungle (33/1), Tyrion's Dream (66/1), Canford Art (66/1), Reaper Man (80/1)

FUGACIOUS pulled a fair way clear of the remainder when runner-up at Killarney last week, and a similar display may see him go one better here. Of the opposition, Rotokura is one to bear in mind back up in trip, as it Sweettasteoflove, who wasn’t seen to best effect at Naas and may yet improve.
