Forecasts

Ben Siegel (5/2), El C Wells (11/4), Cool Leader (4/1), She's Good Company (9/2), Smaoineamh Sile (11/1), Catch Kodi (12/1), International Lady (16/1), Dazzling Spirit (50/1), Izzys Charm (125/1)

BEN SIEGEL got on top close home when opening his account at Ballinrobe last time, despite encountering traffic problems, and a 4 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from striking again. She's Good Company will be a player if she goes to post and International Lady also merits respect. However, Smaoineamh Sile may well benefit from stronger handling here and is feared most off a reduced mark.
