Forecasts

Alice Kitty (8/11), Whyzzat (4/1), Rare Flower (9/2), Macadam's Rock (9/2), Writewhenyouland (50/1), Rusla (50/1), Crafty Thomas (66/1), Catch Kodi (150/1)

This drop in grade should see ALICE KITTY open her account at the sixth time of asking. She failed to make an impact at Navan last time, but sets a clear standard judged on her Sligo reappearance second. Macadam's Rock also found just one too good on his return in a Limerick handicap and is the only conceivable danger on these terms. Whyzzat may be in line for minor place money.
