Forecasts

State Of Fame (11/4), Ramondo Dnzeo (7/2), Gandy Man (9/2), Gali Flight (5/1), What Path (11/2), Misty's Gift (6/1), Grand Soir (9/1), Tuff Days (12/1), Light Bringer (16/1), Killoughteen (16/1), Memorable Daise (18/1), Blackstone Cliff (22/1), Miss Laura (25/1), Caremuchmore (33/1), Kilfinny Queen (50/1), Gonedairy (66/1), Hunters Song (66/1), Simpletwistoffaith (66/1), Marriage Ring (80/1), Onthewaytowin (100/1), Cloran Rose (125/1)

STATE OF FAME caught the eye on handicap debut last week and with 3m expected to suit, he could be the way to go. Gali Flight was still in touch when falling at Kilbeggan and remains of interest, with Misty's Gift surely capable of better as a hurdler.
