Forecasts

Springwell Bay (8/11), Sister Michael (7/2), Urban Grit (9/2), Barest Of Margins (14/1), Zestful Hope (16/1), Heron Creek (18/1), Campden Lad (28/1), Hesbehindyou (66/1), Harptree Hill (150/1), Songdance (250/1)

SPRINGWELL BAY pulled clear of the rest when going close in a valuable bumper at Punchestown on debut in April and should prove hard to beat starting out for Jonjo O'Neill. Urban Grit and Barest of Margins have also made promising starts and can fill the places.
