Forecasts

Keep 'em Lit (5/1), The Declaimer (6/1), Good World (13/2), Charlie Bit Me (7/1), Sweet Sixteen (9/1), Kate Ill Know (9/1), Odds Or Evens (9/1), Heliers Bay (11/1), Hollywood West (12/1), Lightsider (12/1), Call Me Dolly (14/1), Union Park (14/1), Pretty Little Liar (20/1), Craic Eile (25/1), Shrule Operator (25/1), Arctic Sofia (28/1), Penny Jar (33/1), Jubatus (40/1), Tango Theatre (40/1), All The Angels (40/1), Loughaneala Og (50/1), Exultation (50/1), Quins Court (125/1)

Lots with chances so at the likely odds it could be worth chancing HOLLYWOOD WEST who figures on an attractive mark and should prove well suited by this drop back in trip having not got home over 3m at Tipperary last time. Lightly-raced The Declaimer and handicap-debutante Call Me Dolly rate two likely improvers and are feared most, although Shrule Operator is another well worth a second look.
