Forecasts

Pride Of Pimlico (5/2), Hightown Heights (10/3), Brosna Empress (5/1), Bright Glory (13/2), Colonel Slade (7/1), Tanseeq (11/1), Bosca Cheoil (14/1), Jm Barrie (14/1), Clatter Bang (16/1), Munfallet (16/1), I Know I Can (22/1), Lisabetta (33/1), Final Fantasy (33/1), Kinch (40/1), Spirituoso (50/1), Euroclydon (50/1), Kellmar (66/1)

BROSNA EMPRESS added to her good record here when second over C&D a fortnight ago and may be capable of going one better now for a yard which continues in very good form. Hightown Heights is another who arrives on the back of a recent runner-up effort here and heads the dangers along with Colonel Slade, who has been consistent in the main this term.
