Forecasts

Alfa Mix (9/4), Chinx Of Light (11/4), Everglow (9/2), Whacker Clan (9/2), Walking On Glass (6/1), Caesar Rock (9/1), Captain Kangaroo (11/1), Calagogo (14/1), Carrig Hill (150/1)

EVERGLOW holds the edge on form and is fancied to go one better than when a good runner-up at Wexford last week. Walking On Glass shaped well when second on his chasing debut at Clonmel and is feared most with fencing-newcomers Chinx of Light and Whacker Clan not discounted either in an intriguing maiden.
