Forecasts

Eligible (10/3), Clear Angel (7/2), Tipperary Moon (6/1), Harry Love (9/1), Whatwouldyouknow (9/1), Aoife's Joy (10/1), Idoapologise (12/1), Biplane (14/1), Favourite Niece (14/1), Rocket Rod (20/1), Kentuckyconnection (28/1), Big Muddy (33/1), Liberty Breeze (40/1), Cheeky Az (150/1)

The market will reveal plenty but TIPPERARY MOON is well handicapped on last summer's Irish form, and starting out for a new yard in an ordinary contest, he could be the answer. Aoife's Joy can have her last run ignored and she's a threat, along with Harry Love.
