Forecasts

Swift Flight (1/1), Even Flow (11/4), Notoriously Risky (4/1), Elanora (11/2), Mickey The Steel (7/1), Elegant Ellen (20/1), Realtin Fantasy (28/1), Cheval Blanc (40/1), Blue Umbrella (50/1), Stay Local (150/1), Fondant Fancie (200/1), Sin E An Sceal (250/1)

SWIFT FLIGHT encountered traffic problems at a crucial stage when third in a big-field maiden at the Curragh and is taken to open his account at the eighth time of asking. He certainly deserves to get his head in front, a remark which also applies to Notoriously Risky, who found just one too good at Cork last week and is likely to be in the mix once more. Mickey The Steel also has claims.
