Forecasts

Gevrey (10/11), Kings Keeper (2/1), Wild Atlantic Lady (13/2), He'sthewon (9/1), April's Moon (14/1), Seanbhothar (14/1), Mammy Shark (20/1), Opie Houdini (25/1), Frambosin Boy (33/1), Cratloe (40/1), Saga Aravis (66/1), Alma Mahler (80/1), Jody Ted (125/1), Match The Man (150/1), Blaze Of Light (250/1), Some Joke (250/1), Donttellcatherine (300/1)

An excellent opportunity for GEVREY, who sets a clear standard on his runner-up efforts at Listowel and Galway this season. Well-connected newcomer Kings Keeper may emerge as the biggest threat, while Wild Atlantic Lady is worth another chance on bumper form.
