Forecasts

Day Dreamin' (7/2), Gormanston (11/2), Giorni Felice (11/2), Do The Twist (13/2), Mother's Approach (15/2), New Vocation (11/1), Special Memento (12/1), Aldente (12/1), A Few Bob Short (12/1), Vivalicious (12/1), Dame Rapide (20/1), Grove Hill (20/1), Bell Manannan (22/1), Chateau Musar (25/1), Azakan (33/1), Maccliff (100/1), Kappa Kayleigh (125/1)

DAY DREAMIN' is worth forgiving her Punchestown eighth as she scuppered her chance at the start so gets the vote to belatedly confirm previous promise at the chief expense of Gormanston who has solid claims on the back of his good Navan third. Giorni Felice appeals as the pick of the remainder.
