Forecasts

Tooreen Angel (15/8), Blackstone Cliff (7/2), Gougane Barra (4/1), Battle Of Benburb (11/2), Sinseir (13/2), Pepperoni Pete (11/1), Bring Us Paradise (12/1), Victory March (14/1), Matilda With Me (16/1), Ragtime Red (33/1), Dammit (40/1), On The Balcony (40/1)

PEPPERONI PETE is 6 lb lower than when last seen on the Flat and has gone close off higher marks over C&D before so it might be worth taking a chance on his peak fitness back from 8 months off. Blackstone Cliff and last-time-out maiden winner Tooreen Angel head the dangers.
