Forecasts

Fascinating Spirit (9/2), Sideshow Bob (5/1), Red Ball Of Fire (11/2), Emphatic (6/1), Munfallet (15/2), Loughanlea Lass (10/1), Buachaill Or (11/1), Jm Barrie (11/1), Miss Sassyboots (12/1), Dromod Lad (14/1), Eye Of The Dragon (14/1), Enchanted One (16/1), Daarem (16/1), Poetic Choice (28/1), Airlift (33/1), Tidal Racer (50/1), Dande (80/1)

The vote goes to SIDESHOW BOB, who posted her best effort yet when dropped to tis trip last time, finishing fourth in a 14-runner C&D handicap. She makes plenty of appeal off a 2 lb lower mark. Eye Of The Dragon sports a first-time tongue strap and will be a threat if on-song, while Fascinating Spirit and Jm Barrie are others to consider.
