Forecasts

Magnor Glory (11/2), Smitty Bacall (11/2), Dark Spark (11/2), Auckland (11/2), Summer Tide (7/1), Kells Priory (8/1), Cahirdown Boy (9/1), Slige Dala (10/1), Oneknightmoreihope (10/1), Heroes Of Renown (33/1), Goodbye Someday (40/1)

SMITTY BACALL shaped as if needing the run starting out for this yard at Tipperary 2 weeks ago and could be worth chancing off a potentially handy mark. Cahirdown Boy looked back to his best when third at Listowel and is a big player on the back of that run, with Kells Priory another to consider.
