Forecasts

Ivy Avenue (7/2), Giorni Felice (7/2), Scarlet Seymour (11/2), Philly's Hope (6/1), Blankiedoodie (8/1), Lady Boomerang (11/1), Starlight Red (12/1), Tio Esteban (14/1), Kinch (14/1), Airgead (22/1), Basrah Breeze (28/1), Macaban City (50/1), Miss Adventurous (50/1), Sagittarius Rising (100/1), Ollies Wish (100/1), Our Anniversary (100/1), Sapphire Pearl (125/1)

IVY AVENUE responded well to this headgear when off the mark at Killarney and remains low mileage. Blankiedoodie and Giorni Felice both arrive in good form and head the dangers.
