Forecasts

Arinniti (1/2), Pop Star (3/1), Thunderbear (4/1), Almendares (8/1), Bird Of Play (8/1), Song For Whoever (16/1), Jane Porter (20/1), Lisieux (20/1), Selection Bias (25/1), Cholita (50/1), Mystical Song (50/1), Tic Tac Toe (50/1), Bang Po (80/1), Doctor Grace (100/1), Boyne Princess (100/1), Irish Dessert (100/1), Seven Chakra (150/1)

This represents a good opportunity for ARINNITI, who has shown plenty of ability in going close in maidens at Naas and Navan. She holds an entry in a listed race at Fairyhouse on Monday. Pop Star stepped up on his debut effort when finding just one too strong at Navan last month and, with further improvement likely, he is feared most. Thunderbear should pick up a race before long and is likely to be on the premises here, while Bird of Play also enters calculations given his debut promise.
