Forecasts

Prisoner's Dilemma (7/2), Tyrconnell (7/2), Irish Acclaim (13/2), Dark Magic (15/2), Never Back Down (8/1), Plum Perfect (8/1), Koybig (12/1), Miss Sassyboots (12/1), Lansing (16/1), Lyricist Voice (18/1), Well Suited (22/1), Twenty Minutes (22/1), Memsie (25/1), That's Not Me (28/1), Windham Belle (33/1), Drummond Warrior (40/1), Vormir (40/1)

Despite being ignored in the betting, IRISH ACCLAIM was expertly prepared by his new handler to land a 6f handicap here a week ago and the follow up may well be on the cards back over 7f. Tyrconnell and Prisoner's Dilemma head the opposition.
