Forecasts

Barrys Rock (5/1), Tooso (11/2), Plugged In (7/1), Heer At Dawn (10/1), Jazz Dreamers (10/1), Purple Gown (11/1), Salt Whistle Bay (11/1), Chimeric (12/1), Alqabeela (12/1), Philly's Hope (18/1), Dazzling Spirit (18/1), Drummer (18/1), Dr Patrick (20/1), The Rabbit Catcher (20/1), Phoenix Open (22/1), Reverberation (22/1), Complete Fiction (28/1), Due North (28/1), Power Drive (33/1), Bright Glory (33/1), Kasansay (33/1), Ragtime Red (40/1), Sayesse (40/1), Tynamite (50/1), Catherine Chroi (50/1)

SALT WHISTLE BAY is on an attractive mark and arrives on the back of quite an eye-catching run (met trouble) at Cork last time, so he gets the marginal vote in an open race. Tooso is a big danger if she can back up her recent improvement in a claimer and Jazz Dreamers hasn't been far away in similar events the last twice.
