Forecasts

Ellis Boyd Redding (7/4), Meetingofthewaters (7/2), Housemartin (9/2), High City Roller (9/2), Bella Bliss (17/2), Magheralin Mick (12/1), Every River (14/1), Cherisheverymoment (14/1), Thornleigh Frank (18/1), Bessy Bradley (22/1), Girl Next Door (25/1), Penthouse Poppet (33/1), Our Uncle Jack (33/1), Celebrating Katie (100/1)

ELLIS BOYD REDDING makes obvious appeal on paper and is taken to make a winning start in this sphere. Meetingofthewaters is open to improvement after a pleasing run at Cork, while High City Roller may leave his Clonmel effort behind.
