Forecasts

Saeer (11/4), Battle Of Benburb (3/1), The Truant (9/2), Roma Delight (13/2), Estepona Sun (15/2), Auckland (11/1), Myrcella (18/1), Kingston Kid (22/1), Swift Sonnet (25/1), Crosshouse Boy (25/1), Flying Amy (33/1), Little Brown Mouse (33/1), Call Me Tina (33/1), Getaway Master (50/1), Da Little Grey Lad (100/1), Ocean Legacy (150/1)

Simply put, BATTLE OF BEBURB's fifth at Cork last time is the best piece of form on show and, with a reproduction, he may have enough to get off the mark in a weak race. Saeer is a danger, while both Estepoona Sun and Auckland have scope for further improvement.
