Forecasts

Rathnaleen Tou (3/1), Odds Or Evens (4/1), Highstreetfashion (11/2), Galon De Vauzelle (15/2), Chrisaldy (11/1), Courting Vickie (12/1), Time And Times (12/1), Rossmore's Pride (12/1), The Rebel Knight (16/1), Gendarme (20/1), Glen Robin (20/1), Baby Bellini (22/1), Church Lane (22/1), Dympnas Well (25/1), Emerald Cave (25/1), Saga Aravis (28/1), Justakeg (28/1), So Kind (28/1), Genie Makker (66/1)

A chance is taken on CHRISALDY who looks on a nice opening mark based on his improved showing in a maiden at Naas last time. Tony Martin's Odds or Evens is a potentially dangerous opponent, particularly if the betting speaks for him. A reproduction of the form Highstreetfashion has shown on his last 2 starts could also be good enough for him to reach the frame.
