Forecasts

Fissa (8/13), Favori De Champdou (2/1), Midnight It Is (4/1), Recite A Prayer (11/2), Bout Time Bobby (17/2), Hymie Weiss (16/1), Kingston Retreat (40/1), Ashlea Dawn (80/1)

FISSA returned to form after 3 months off when just denied in a similar event at Clonmel in May and sets a clear standard. Favori de Champdou showed plenty in bumpers and may emerge as the biggest threat despite returning from a long absence.
