Forecasts

Polo Lounge (7/4), Cillians Charm (7/4), One For Lucy (4/1), Val The Man (15/2), Master Player (16/1), Rebel Pat (16/1), Watergrangedreamer (33/1), Knockwilliambridge (50/1), Velvet Reel (100/1), Badgerisland (125/1), Bright Lad (150/1), Ozark Thunder (150/1), Native Cloud (200/1)

POLO LOUNGE pulled nicely clear of the rest fitted with a tongue tie when second at Kilarney a month ago and a repeat of that may well suffice. With Cillians Charm engaged to run on Saturday, One For Lucy is feared most, though Rebel Pat warrants a second look having shaped with promise until slipping up in a point.
