Forecasts

Bright Idea (4/1), Sense Of Worth (9/2), Silaiyli (5/1), Moon Daisy (15/2), Blue Shadow (8/1), Uncharted (8/1), Bonte Moi (9/1), Ben Siegel (11/1), Effernock Fizz (12/1), Pachmena (20/1), Timourid (50/1)

BRIGHT IDEA ran well at Newcastle 9 weeks ago and the well-bred gelding has dipped to a handy-looking mark for his first run at Dundalk. He could be the way to go. The thriving Ben Siegel is feared most. Moon Daisy should be on the premises again if taking to the surface.
