Forecasts

Eagle Moon (3/1), Archies Charm (3/1), Gelee Blanche (5/1), Grange Walk (6/1), Chasing Abbey (15/2), Nero Rock (17/2), Defan (20/1), Thisonesforollie (22/1), Trees Valley (22/1), Top Line Tommy (28/1), Bulldoze (40/1), Living's Boy An Co (40/1), Leahman (80/1), Maybenextyear (250/1), Exultation (300/1), Chosen Flower (300/1)

EAGLE MOON shaped as if back in form in a handicap at Tramore last time (going well when nearly slipped up approaching 2 out) and may prove the answer to this opening maiden chase. Grange Walk and Gelee Blanche are open to progress on the back of their chase debuts in the same maiden at Tramore and head the dangers.
