Forecasts

Complete Fiction (7/2), Dinamine (7/2), Benkogambit (13/2), Heer At Dawn (15/2), Chimeric (9/1), Star Official (10/1), Liquid Luck (11/1), Phoenix Open (12/1), Alqabeela (12/1), Rips Dream (14/1), Philly's Hope (16/1), Navorrosse (16/1), Dusty Winds (18/1), Lord Mczie (18/1), Scream (20/1), Spirituoso (33/1), Pulsating (33/1)

COMPLETE FICTION is on the up and finished to good effect when second in a 21-runner event at Leopardstown last time, so he gets the tentative vote in an open-looking event. Heer At Dawn looks a threat and Benkogambit is worth monitoring in the betting on just his second outing for Martin Brassil.
