Forecasts

Askann (11/4), Carrignagapple (16/5), Wake Up Early (13/2), Miracle In Medinah (10/1), Wishmoor (10/1), Chesterville (11/1), Trappist Monk (12/1), Loch Luatha (14/1), Larry Looby (14/1), I'll Be That Lady (14/1), Call Of The Loon (18/1), Screaming Colours (22/1), Wee Small Hours (33/1)

ASKANN arrives on the back of 2 good placed efforts this season and remains unexposed over fences. This longer trip should suit so she makes the most appeal. Wake Up Early made a respectable comeback at Galway and is next best ahead of Wishmoor.
