Forecasts

Farceur Du Large (11/8), One Down (15/8), Call Me Lyreen (10/3), Snugsborough Hall (11/1), Le Figaro Faoudel (28/1), Give Me A Moment (80/1), Often In My Mind (250/1)

CALL ME LYREEN was impressive on his Tramore debut last month and can make it 2-2 under Keith Donoghue. Gigginstown pair Farceur du Large and One Down are likely to provide the main opposition.
