Forecasts

Innatendue (11/10), Hands Of Gold (6/1), Jeepydoff Meel (7/1), Ages Of Man (12/1), On The Tide (12/1), Solitary Man (12/1), San Martino (12/1), No Looking Back (14/1), Trust Me Nate (20/1), Stellium (25/1), Morrie In D Quarry (66/1), Suture Self (66/1), Night Of Dreams (66/1), Small Money (80/1), Misstheamaria (125/1), French Company (150/1), Surviving Murmansk (250/1), Falvio (300/1)

INNATENDUE may have needed her Wexford comeback and is worth another chance. Hands of Gold made a promising start at Down Royal and could have a bright future. Jeepydoff Meel is another to consider.
