Forecasts

Sittingonthefence (11/4), Glenmalure Lodge (7/2), Menindee (4/1), Gondor (13/2), Lonesome Day (8/1), Iluvyounow (11/1), Mr Brogue (12/1), Banada Bridge (16/1), Cottage Artist (20/1), Tuff Days (20/1), Irish Reports (22/1), Banjo (25/1), Oskar High (25/1), Sulafaat (28/1), Karayaz (40/1), Ballycastle Brat (40/1), Fainche (50/1), Mugsy Delight (66/1)

GLENMALURE LODGE has posted 2 good runner-up efforts this season and is taken to notch a deserved first success. Menindee and Sittingonthefence arrive on the back of good placed efforts and are likely to be in the shake-up again, while Irish Reports and Tuff Days appeal as possible improvers in handicaps.
