Forecasts

Kells Priory (15/8), Kingston Retreat (4/1), Steppenwolf (4/1), Game And Glory (10/1), Garcon Doux (11/1), Where's Bunny (12/1), Rose Of Kalanisi (12/1), Ordered Lives (14/1), Rips Dream (18/1), Supreme Vinnie (22/1), Quins Court (28/1), Miss Louise (50/1), Goldwin Magic (50/1)

STEPPENWOLF won comfortably on his Clonmel handicap debut last month and can follow up with further improvement on the cards. Kells Priory had had a good spell in similar events this year and should figure prominently again. Rose of Kalanisi appeals as a possible improver in handicaps and is also on the shortlist.
