Forecasts

Erins Benefit (6/4), Sweet Street (9/4), Belles Benefit (13/2), Sempre Presto (7/1), Scealoghan (8/1), Metersandmasks (9/1), It'saleader (10/1), Kittys Fashion (20/1), Drumderry Ask (20/1), Lough Manor (50/1), September Lady (50/1), Clounts Glory (100/1), Save Tonight (250/1), Gipsy Rhyme (300/1), Getaway Shivvie (300/1)

This represents a good opportunity for SWEET STREET, who returned to form when third at Tipperary when last seen in May. On the evidence of that effort, she is well worth another try at this trip and the booking of Paul Townend adds to her appeal. Erins Benefit is starting to prove expensive to follow and she may again have to settle for minor honours. Sempre Presto is best of the rest.
