Forecasts

Tipperary Moon (7/2), Blankiedoodie (4/1), Alice Milligan (5/1), Adapt To Dan (11/2), Hidden Spark (13/2), Colonel Slade (9/1), Neyland (14/1), Summer's Dream (14/1), Blyton (16/1), Slade Runner (20/1), Fennor Cross (25/1), Legendre (28/1), Scream (33/1), Ecliptic Moon (33/1), Wrist Art (40/1), Darkest Hour (50/1), Socratic (100/1), The Bog Bank (100/1)

TIPPERARY MOON was only just denied his third win of the season at Limerick last time and remains of interest in a change of headgear. Hidden Spark has thrived for her new yard this season and is another to consider, while Scream responded well to cheekpieces when scoring at Cork 3 weeks ago.
