Forecasts

Bonarc (5/4), Bioverdia (5/2), Presenting Meghan (4/1), Ally Cay (7/1), Westcoast Tiger (8/1), Estijmaam (10/1), Imperial Blonde (11/1), I'm On Snap (14/1), Wat Ua Doin (25/1), Loyal Lioness (33/1), Footstepsinddesert (33/1), Scarlet Rebel (80/1), Lil Codey (100/1), Queen Emily (100/1), Fowlplay (125/1), A Chuisle Mo Chroi (300/1)

BIOVERDIA didn't quite get home at Bellwestown last time and is worth giving another chance back down in trip. Bonarc has proven expensive to follow but a repeat of her second at Sligo last week would put her firmly in the mix. Presenting Meghan ran too freely at Kilbeggan but retains potential on her bumper form.
