Forecasts

Demain Des L'Aube (9/2), Jack Hackett (11/2), Dream Conti (6/1), Cluan Dara (6/1), Woodbrook Boy (6/1), Ask Nile (7/1), Plinth (15/2), Donkey Years (15/2), Definite Soldier (9/1), Samurai Cracker (11/1), Desire De Joie (12/1), Wolfofallstreets (14/1), Summer Hill (20/1), Nobody Home (25/1), Crosshue Boy (66/1)

DEMAIN DES L'AUBE was too keen up in trip at Limerick last month but remains well handicapped and returned at the scene of his last win, is taken to bounce back to form. Desire de Joie and Samurai Cracker look the chief threats.
