Forecasts

Miss Molly T (9/2), Dragons Call (6/1), Ramiro (6/1), Independent Missy (13/2), Geological (7/1), Pretty Boy Floyd (10/1), Verhoyen (10/1), Tresorier (11/1), Trueba (12/1), Resourceful Man (12/1), Crystal Black (14/1), Majeski Man (14/1), Mickey The Steel (16/1), Mogwli (16/1), Screen Siren (16/1), Goodnight Girl (16/1), Texas Rock (20/1), San Aer (22/1), Linda Barrett (25/1), Linus Larrabee (25/1)

RAMIRO had a bit more in hand than the narrow margin suggests when winning at Limerick under this rider 5 weeks ago so could be up to defying a 4 lb rise. Verhoyen, Linus Larrabee and Geological head the dangers.
