Forecasts

Selective Power (10/3), Tawaazon (5/1), Scarlet Dancer (11/2), Bronze River (6/1), Hypernova (17/2), Ghumama (9/1), Linus Larrabee (9/1), Macadam's Rock (10/1), Maestro Stick (12/1), Irish Millions (28/1), Yester (33/1), Hey Kameir (33/1), Liquid Luck (66/1)

Colin Keane is a good booking for SCARLET DANCER who might be up to resuming winning ways. Bronze River has been in good form here this month so he's an obvious threat, while the fact Eddie Lynam has won this race twice in recent years brings his pair Selective Power and Linus Larrabee into the reckoning.
