Forecasts

Blackjack Boy (3/1), Charlie Siringo (5/1), Gold Creek (5/1), Beechroad Winnie (15/2), Go Battle (10/1), King Lenox (10/1), Bilbo Bagins (12/1), Time To Bite (12/1), Brog Ahaon (16/1), Kemstar (18/1), Butte Montana (18/1)

GO BATTLE holds the edge on form so is fancied to make light of her absence and gain her first victory. Blackjack Boy should build on his recent Tipperary fifth and is next on the list ahead of chasing debutant Charlie Siringo.
