Forecasts

Ballymoney (15/8), Florey Spud (4/1), Mahlers Dollar (5/1), For Talks Sake (5/1), Bohemian Birch (10/1), Summer Tide (11/1), Stowaway John (12/1), Athgaine Monarch (18/1), Costalotmore (20/1), Social Sharing (20/1), Mount Callan (33/1), Wa Wa (33/1), High Sheriff (33/1), Mooresfort Lady (33/1), Rathnure Rookie (33/1), Don't Blink (80/1), Karla Martina (100/1), Ballycurrane Boy (125/1), Euromax (250/1)

COSTALOTMORE has presumably had a setback or 2 given he's been off the track for 17 months, but this dual-point winner showed plenty of ability when runner-up in a bumper for Brian Jordan and if returning at that level, he could be up to winning this. Florey Spud is a big threat, while the market will help assess Bohemian Birch and Ballymoney for top yards.
