Forecasts

Ashton Court (7/2), Blackjack Boy (11/2), Wait Here (11/2), Comporta (6/1), Mr Moondance (13/2), All The Angels (15/2), Heliers Bay (15/2), Happy Company (9/1), Caridadi (10/1), Touch Of Gold (11/1), Knockraha Boss (25/1), Trenchtown Rock (25/1), Sao Paulo (25/1), Withallduerespect (25/1), Cousin Harry (28/1), Don Patricio (40/1), All The Chimneys (40/1), Royal Alto (66/1)

COMPORTA was better than the result at Punchestown last time and has a solid chance if recapturing the form he showed when runner-up twice this summer. The thriving Mr Moondance is respected as he goes in search of a hat-trick, while Blackjack Boy is a possible improver in handicaps.
