Forecasts

Joeswayornoway (5/4), Irregularheartbeat (10/3), I Don't Get It (5/1), Alice O'Byrne (17/2), My Manekineko (12/1), Cosmic Rock (14/1), Willyouwalkwithme (20/1), Crimson Chief (28/1), So Kind (50/1)

A first success under Rules could be on the cards for ALICE O'BYRNE with this return to 2m sure to suit Henry de Bromhead's lightly-raced mare. Tuesday's Clonmel winner Joeswayornoway shouldn't be far away again, while her old rival Irregularheartbeat has a race like this in her.
