Forecasts

Marmolata (11/4), Angel Palanas (11/4), Lincoln (3/1), Tony The Gent (4/1), Dark Magic (9/2), Ms Thompson (10/1), Sweettasteoflove (12/1), Unconscious Mind (16/1), Stamp Of Authority (16/1), Distant Mirage (16/1), Lizbuncon (18/1), Silk Air (20/1), Double Coffee (22/1), Alwisaam (25/1), Postcode Envy (25/1), Feather Step (66/1), Melya Power (80/1)

ANGEL PALANAS is on a roll at present and may be capable of making it 4 in a row if coping with the quick turnaround after Leopardstown on Friday. Lincoln was a fair way behind the selection on that occasion but is a capable performer at this level and rates a possible threat. Marmalota is another who should have a say now reverting to the Flat.
