Forecasts

Hasten Slowly (11/8), Karaoke (10/3), Woodcock Flight (9/2), Bossy Parker (15/2), Devore (8/1), Palace Gardens (10/1), Slaney Tide (14/1), Tic Tac Toe (18/1)

It could be worth chancing WOODCOCK FLIGHT, who shaped better than the bare result in a valuable sales event at Naas last time and is on a handy mark on the pick of his form. Karaoke and Devore are both open to improvement on handicap bow and they head the dangers.
