Forecasts

Irish Times (6/5), Maazel (6/1), Little Floozie (13/2), Nicky Baby (13/2), Gracie's Girl (13/2), Pearl Spectre (10/1), Deeds Not Words (11/1), Hit The Beat (20/1), Willsy (150/1)

IRISH TIMES is a C&D winner who comes here in decent form and should be able to gain a fourth career victory. Little Floozie is still a maiden but she has some creditable efforts to her name this winter and may get involved. Gracie's Girl is one to note in the market returning from a long absence with a leading rider in the plate.
