Forecasts

Journey West (13/8), Top Basanta (16/5), Silverstrand (9/2), Maura Jeanne (9/2), Brogine (6/1), Extreme Cacao (7/1), Stolen Moment (7/1), Well Polly (8/1), Getaway Missile (8/1), Rwegoinhigh (9/1), Glenmalure Lodge (14/1), Yenillik (18/1), Rose Mahler (20/1), Another Ocana (25/1), Ximyerg (33/1), Cornhill Lass (40/1)

JOURNEY WEST had a bit to spare in first-time blinkers at Downpatrick on Friday and might be up to defying a penalty if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Extreme Cacao looked set for an improved second when coming down 2 out at Limerick last time and heads the dangers along with recent Cork third Stolen Moment.
