Forecasts

Dha Leath (4/1), Vocal Studies (4/1), Mr Rango (11/2), Team Of Firsts (6/1), Boher Road (6/1), San Aer (17/2), New Hill (10/1), Derry Lad (12/1), Quizical (16/1), Star Official (20/1), Dagoda (22/1), Nectarine (25/1), Kojin (28/1), Amber Kite (28/1), Falvio (28/1), Scrum Half (33/1), Onlyhuman (33/1), Sirjack Thomas (40/1), Greek Gladiator (50/1)

BOHER ROAD looks the way to go here given he appeals as the sort to build on his Curragh success now stepping up in trip on his handicap debut. Mr Rango is feared most on the back of his own recent victory at the Curragh, with Scrum Half appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.
