Forecasts

Red Ball Of Fire (9/4), Star Official (9/2), Complete Fiction (7/1), Gracesolution (15/2), Out On Friday (15/2), Benkogambit (8/1), Barretstown (11/1), Dazzling Spirit (12/1), Pikaia (12/1), Intend (16/1), Indignation (20/1), Kartayaz (22/1), Zaur (28/1), Brehon Star (50/1), Paddytheirishman (66/1)

Following a good effort on the Flat, RED BALL OF FIRE produced her best effort yet over hurdles when runner-up last week and she really should be able to some damage back on the level. Complete Fiction also arrives in top form, with Gracesolution another to note.
