Forecasts

Galaxy Girl (10/3), The Reaping Race (4/1), Mickey Shea (5/1), Da Big Fella (6/1), Daisy's Hollow (17/2), Need For Gold (10/1), Mighty Jeremy (10/1), Swiss Brid (11/1), Oskar High (12/1), Duhallow Paddy (12/1), Coppercoast Paudie (16/1), Esthers Marvel (16/1), October Revolution (25/1), Mossy White (25/1), Mrs Davies (25/1), Oldcastle (40/1), Blue Jig Rich (40/1), Otzi (50/1)

In an open affair the vote goes the way of Gavin Cromwell's GALAXY GIRL who has reached the frame on all 4 outings this season and remains relatively unexposed around 3m. Mickey Shea rates a danger after a pair of good placed efforts at Ballinrobe this season, while The Reaping Race has already won here this season and was third off this mark last time.
