Forecasts

Stop On Red (6/5), Medway (10/3), Lust For Life (4/1), Designer Cailin (6/1), In The Attic (11/1), Rosa Dartle (12/1), Putonthenews (14/1), Jazz Dreamers (14/1), Fast Celt (25/1), My Friend Fred (50/1)

STOP ON RED has a good track record and may be capable of notching another win. A market move for Medway would make him a possible threat on this first outing for new trainer Joseph O'Brien, while Lust For Life is also respected having struck at the first time of asking for Ciaran Murphy at Gowran a couple of weeks ago.
