Forecasts

All Things Nice (9/4), Holdonfordearlife (5/2), Tanaiyla (6/1), Static Charge (7/1), Woodcock Flight (8/1), Camilla Gherardini (12/1), Blindsided (12/1), Brazilian Song (12/1), Slick Chick (14/1), Lasmuigh (18/1)

There's likely more to come from Bellewstown maiden winner ALL THINGS NICE who is taken to provide Joseph O'Brien with a third successive win in this contest. Woodcock Flight has been placed twice in maiden company and looks on a fair opening handicap mark so he's taken to give the selection most to think about ahead of Dermot Weld's Tanaiyla.
