Forecasts

Good Man Turk (4/1), Roped In (9/2), Battle Of Benburb (6/1), Killinure Lass (13/2), Well Polly (13/2), Naturally Blond (8/1), Rose Mahler (8/1), Dicebox (12/1), Homard De Chausey (20/1), Lady L'lerom (22/1), Humps And Bumps (33/1), Cottage Artist (40/1), Coconoir (50/1), Athagabhain (50/1), Fr Gilligansvoyge (66/1), Getaclan (66/1), Go Large (100/1)

BATTLE OF BENBURB is one to be interested in again at this level after his good third at Killarney 3 weeks ago and gets a narrow vote in this wide-open handicap. Rose Mahler, a good second at Tipparary on her latest start, Well Polly and easy Killarney scorer Naturally Blond head the many dangers.
