Forecasts

Lovely Moon (10/11), Thedancingfarrier (9/2), Presenting Point (9/1), Indie Belle (11/1), Kingston Kid (12/1), Falco Du Sauzay (12/1), Corrigaleen (14/1), Golden Glen (16/1), Fairoffthecross (16/1), Some Venture (16/1), Iridescent (20/1), Coolamber (33/1), Daisy's Hollow (40/1), Mystery Mac (66/1), Achendar (125/1)

This is best left to LOVELY MOON, who appeared to benefit from a tactical change when making all in good style at Clonmel last week. He is a big step ahead of the handicapper under a penalty here and will prove hard to beat. If fully tuned-up for this assignment, Iridescent could be the one for the forecast. Presenting Point was runner-up over fences last time and should have a part to play, too.
