Forecasts

Light Parade (10/3), Shean Glory (7/2), Truckers Angel (6/1), Park Hind (13/2), Parvos (7/1), Little Token (11/1), Chacha Dancer (14/1), Skinnider (16/1), Rovetta (18/1), Take My Hand (25/1), Jakes Dream (25/1), Danesfort Mayfly (25/1), Kanors Girl (25/1), It's Time Again (33/1), Lough Na Fooey (33/1), Poker Night (66/1), Courting Vickie (66/1), O Faolains Lass (80/1), Cloudings Well (125/1)

SHEAN GLORY upped her game to score over C&D last time and, in a race that lacks depth, she looks a solid proposition. Light Parade and Parvos look the main dangers.
