Forecasts

Wee Pablo (10/3), Trueba (4/1), Ramiro (15/2), Magic Carousel (8/1), Fridtjof Nansen (9/1), Double Kodiac (9/1), Sir Sedric (10/1), Rocky Dreams (12/1), Irish Acclaim (12/1), Atlas (16/1), Silverkode (16/1), Lord Mczie (18/1), Thunder Rain (18/1), Texas Rock (28/1), Turbine (80/1)

Plenty in with a shout but MAGIC CAROUSEL still looks on a winning mark despite being raised 3 lb for her excellent Curragh third and she can gain her breaktrhough victory here. Double Kodiac is on a long losing run but rates the main threat on the back of his good Naas effort with Listowel scorer Wee Pablo appealing as the pick of the remainder.
