Forecasts

Snag It (6/1), Allihies (13/2), Elmos Fire (7/1), Ransom (7/1), Excuzio Joe (8/1), Roman Bull (8/1), Angel Girl (17/2), Flame Of Eire (9/1), Blackcastle Storm (10/1), Coins Cross (11/1), Starting Monday (11/1), Kodiac Prince (12/1), Apple Of His Eye (12/1), Zahee (12/1), Eloquent Arthur (14/1), Church Mountain (14/1), The Blue Panther (20/1), Timourid (20/1), Prince Of Peace (66/1)

FLAME OF EIRE is enjoying an excellent season and fancied to bag victory number four with a 4 lb rise for his Bellewstown success not looking enough to halt his winning spree. Easy Clonmel scorer Roman Bull is feared most now he steps into handicap company while Angel Girl rates a solid place prospect on the back of her Punchestown second.
