Forecasts

Arakan Quest (6/4), Killultagh Bella (5/2), Different Spot (7/2), Call Me Lyreen (4/1), Sani Pass (6/1), Seamus Darby (10/1), Fairytale Bliss (12/1), Elite Trooper Grey (18/1), Eric Carmen (22/1), Fortfield Lady (25/1), Aubretia (25/1), Not Too Bad Jr (50/1), Tangental (66/1), Stopthelights (125/1), Coole Arcade (150/1)

If there's confidence behind newcomer CALL ME LYREEN in the betting, the hint should probably be taken. He boasts a decent jumps pedigree and won't need to be anything out of the ordinary to lower the colours of clear form pick Arakan Quest, who was beaten a fair way when sent off favourite on his reappearance at Bellewstown last month. Sani Pass and Different Spot both make each-way appeal.
