Forecasts

Magic Charm (11/4), Morning Approach (9/2), Tooso (13/2), Barretstown (7/1), Pride Of Pimlico (8/1), Dark Street (9/1), Sweet November (9/1), Take My Hand (10/1), Rosie Rock (12/1), Transition (14/1), Wrist Art (18/1), Storm Elza (18/1), Purple Gown (20/1), The Lion Strikes (20/1), Run Silver Run (25/1), Samaritaine (25/1), Heer At Dawn (33/1), Midnight Treasure (33/1), Colleen's Prince (33/1), Barnhill Rose (33/1), Brightburn (100/1)

MAGIC CHARM made a positive start to the season when fourth behind a trio of in-form rivals at Leopardstown and he may well gain a belated first career success with Wayne Lordan again in the hot-seat. Tooso improved when third in a 7f Cork handicap recently and this trip should be ideal, so she needs considering. Morning Approach is third choice, while Barretstown and Take My Hand merit respect, too.
