Forecasts

Tullyhogue Fort (9/2), Golden Glen (5/1), Trouble And Strife (5/1), Agirlcalledchloe (6/1), Happy Dancing (7/1), Brogine (9/1), Fahrenheit De Lecu (9/1), Corrigaleen (12/1), Elliedee (12/1), Eddies Pride (16/1), Mise Raftaire (16/1), It's Time Again (22/1), Force Of Forces (22/1), Ballyglass Beauty (22/1), Sittingonthefence (25/1), Grey Habit (25/1), I Must (28/1)

The vote goes to GOLDEN GLEN, who performed well enough at Limerick last month to suggest that a belated second career success could be just around the corner. Elliedee will be a threat now handicapping off a realistic opening mark, if able to build on her latest improved effort in a Cork maiden, while Trouble And Strife is also shortlisted. Corrigaleen and Tullyhogue Fort are others with a chance in an open-looking race.
