Forecasts

Dudley's Bar (9/4), Action Motion (9/2), I Have A Voice (11/2), Sally Golightly (6/1), Aghaboy (13/2), Forgetmenotblue (15/2), Steps In The Sand (20/1), Be Adored (20/1), Cryptos Dream (33/1), Vintage Release (50/1)

DUDLEY'S BAR appeals most in this competitive contest on the back of a highly encouraging handicap debut third upped to this trip at Cork last month. Next on the list is I Have A Voice, who was fourth in that same Cork race, finishing ½-length adrift of the selection, and he is entitled to come on for that seasonal reappearance. Recent Sligo winner Sally Golightly and Aghaboy are others to consider.
