Forecasts

Molly Fantasy (1/1), Contrapposto (7/2), Wojood (9/2), Lemon Ice (6/1), Angel In The Sky (8/1), South East Star (17/2), Eagle Terrace (12/1), Bears Hug (16/1), Craic Eile (16/1), Bolero (20/1), Rips Dream (25/1), Dr Patrick (28/1), No Show (33/1), Alqabeela (33/1), Queen Amanirenas (150/1)

CONTRAPPOSTO ran well from a career-low mark back on the Flat when a close third of 17 at Fairyhouse last time, having to pick his way through and never nearer, and looks ready to strike. Lemon Ice and Wojood head the dangers.
