Forecasts

Northern Love (3/1), Buttons And Bows (3/1), Avec Espoir (7/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (7/1), Bolbec (8/1), Dundeedy Lad (8/1), Broder (8/1), Old Town Road (8/1), Champagne Beauty (12/1), Carnet De Stage (12/1), Shawshank (12/1), Trees Valley (14/1), Bitview Colin (16/1), My Oakclahome (16/1), Cluan Dara (20/1), Think Positive (20/1), Wolfofallstreets (28/1), Tiantu (33/1), Magic Sea (33/1)

BUTTONS AND BOWS landed a gamble in effortless style when taking advantage of a falling mark at Wexford 3 weeks ago and a 10 lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow up. In-form pair Avec Espoir and Northern Love are feared most.
