Forecasts

Black Hawk Eagle (7/4), Aingeal Dorcha (4/1), I Have A Voice (5/1), Evening Verse (7/1), Global Energy (7/1), Sean Says (9/1), Well Funded (11/1), Irish Lullaby (12/1), Out On Friday (14/1), Kodiac Prince (14/1), Miss Myers (20/1), Three Comets (25/1), Lord Park (28/1), French Asset (40/1), War Thunder (66/1)

BLACK HAWK EAGLE has improved switched to handicaps the last twice, finding just one too good at Gowran and again when upped to 11.8f at Roscommon. Noel Meade's charge is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of Kodiac Prince, who has edged down to an attractive mark. Out On Friday makes each-way appeal and it would be unwise to overlook recent Leopardstown winner I Have A Voice.
