Forecasts

Mudawy (10/3), Larado (7/2), Punk Poet (4/1), Godhead (5/1), Ramon Di Loria (6/1), Rave N Contagion (9/1), Tommy Taylor (12/1), Ice Cold In Alex (12/1), Lord Mczie (14/1), Parkers Hill (16/1), Irish Acclaim (22/1), Alfredo Arcano (25/1), Kaswarah (200/1)

RAMON DI LORIA took his form up a notch when scoring on his return at Sligo last month, ridden more positively and deserving of extra credit given the fact that he had bolted to post. His best days are surely ahead and he looks handily weighted to go in again. Mudawy wasted no time getting back to form on his handicap bow last time so heads the dangers, ahead of Ice Cold In Alex and Larado.
