Forecasts

Pale Moonlight (10/3), Our Scholar (4/1), Butterfly Garden (4/1), Ham And Jam (4/1), Gatito Rapido (5/1), Alice Diamond (14/1), Caramel Lizard (18/1), Gudrun Genberg (25/1), Eagles Perch (25/1), Carslake (150/1)

PALE MOONLIGHT comes here on the back of a good second in a big field at Galway and can go one better now with that form working out well. Gatito Rapido is feared most on his handicap debut stepping up in trip, with Tramore-scorer Butterfly Garden appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
