Forecasts

Quirt Evans (15/8), Mr Caplan (4/1), Leac An Scail Lady (4/1), Henry Star (9/2), General Clermont (5/1), Robin Scherbatsky (7/1), Kilkenny Star (17/2), Double Jubilee (9/1), Timeaday (14/1), Honey I'm Good (20/1), Queen Kulina (33/1), Mustafa (33/1), Mahler Storm (33/1), Meehall (50/1), Baile Mhuirne (50/1)

QUIRT EVANS sets the standard on his last 2 efforts in handicaps so he appeals as the most likely winner now returning to maiden company. Leac An Scail Lady is proving consistent and should be on the premises again, with Mr Caplan another to consider.
