Forecasts

This Songisforyou (8/15), Rockstown Girl (4/1), Dark Image (11/2), Split The Pound (7/1), Art Of Silence (12/1), Mazyad (14/1), The Reenroe Beach (18/1), Sonny Fella (25/1), Elusive Guy (33/1), Locorotondo (40/1), Suture Self (40/1), Spanish John (50/1), Ferrybridge (50/1), Arnacoeur (80/1)

THIS SONGISFORYOU displayed a good attitude when off the mark at the first time of asking at Galway 46 days ago, pulling clear with another good prospect. He's likely to be ridden positively again by Derek O'Connor and he's fancied to see off the likes of Rockstown Girl and Dark Image, who also impressed when making successful debuts.
