Forecasts

Designer Cailin (3/1), Upstate New York (5/1), Rocky Dreams (13/2), Faraah (15/2), Going In Style (8/1), Nana Patsy (10/1), Spanish Class (10/1), Dark Matter (16/1), Destacado (18/1), Ellabella (18/1), Jm Barrie (20/1), Sors (20/1), Fascinating Spirit (25/1), Ampeson (25/1), Clan Jock (40/1), Able Jack (40/1), Pirate Lass (40/1), Mr Pc (66/1), A Cool Case (66/1)

FARAAH arrives on the back of a couple of placed efforts and is taken turn around recent Roscommon form with Designer Cailin and land a first career success. Spanish Class is respected as a low-mileage sort from a leading stable, while Upstate New York also has something to recommend him after a decent first run for Denis Hogan at Roscommon last week.
