Forecasts

St Cianans Fire (18/5), Sil Ver Klass (9/2), The Dazzer (5/1), Complete Fiction (11/2), Serafina (6/1), Hello Power (13/2), Kampala Beach (7/1), Kartayaz (15/2), Reverberation (17/2), Thegooseiscooked (17/2), Red Ball Of Fire (16/1), Astrophysicist (28/1), Tynan (50/1), Short N Sweet (50/1), Big Belief (66/1), David Garrick (100/1), Double Kodiac (100/1)

Plenty are in with a shout. ST CIANANS FIRE gained his breakthrough success in gutsy style at Punchestown and is taken to follow up with this longer trip also a plus. Kartayaz is next on the list on the back of his good recent fourth at the same track with Clonmel scorer Serafina and in-form Hello Power appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
