Forecasts

A Different World (7/2), Miss Us O (5/1), Saga Aravis (11/2), Nicole's Milan (8/1), Frazel Express (9/1), Tullyhogue Fort (9/1), Eileens Boy (12/1), Boghlone Honey (12/1), Steelers Appeal (16/1), Fairoffthecross (20/1), Kilnashane Star (22/1), Damut (25/1), Wee Small Hours (28/1), Galaxy Girl (28/1), Crobally Boy (28/1), Betterask Jj (33/1), Bodeenbelle (33/1), Round The Buoy (40/1), Le Fou's Keep (40/1), Johnny Giro (66/1), Western Dreaming (100/1), Getaway Pippa (200/1)

Lots with chances, and SAGA ARAVIS is taken to gain his breakthrough success on the back of his excellent Fairyhouse second early this month. Frazel Express is next on the list after her own good showing at Fairyhouse, with A Different World another who needs considering in a very open handicap.
