Forecasts

Baseman (5/2), Razdan (3/1), Moddy Poddle (9/2), Disco Boots (8/1), Espouse (8/1), Draconid (9/1), Aurora Princess (10/1), Matchless (12/1), Morning Approach (33/1), Maar (33/1), The Blue Panther (40/1), Coins Cross (40/1)

BASEMAN improved upped to a mile with cheekpieces enlisted at Limerick, accounting for his 15 rivals in the manner of a colt who has more to offer. He has been handed what looks a fair mark for this handicap debut and is marginally preferred to Draconid, who also looks feasibly treated now switched to handicap company. Espouse and last month's Gowran winner Moddy Poddle are each-way players.
