Forecasts

Dragons Call (10/3), Theriverrunsdeep (4/1), Pretty Smart (9/2), Florence Thompson (11/2), Canford Art (17/2), Poet's Pride (17/2), Keepthebestsideout (16/1), Attelboro (16/1), Brokers Tip (20/1), Amazing One (25/1), Kals Mogok (28/1), Derugoda (66/1), Curraheen Princess (80/1)

DRAGONS CALL was firmly back on track when only narrowly denied off 1 lb lower at Naas last time and is taken to go one better now under Joey Sheridan. Poet's Pride has been in good form since scoring on AW in March and heads the dangers along with Pretty Smart and Florence Thompson.
