Forecasts

Supreme Law (4/1), Pro Bono (9/2), Golden Sandbanks (5/1), Celtic Revival (7/1), Sea Oscar (15/2), Oranmore (17/2), Hinemoa (12/1), Lex Maxima (12/1), French Company (16/1), Angel In The Sky (16/1), Kalaroun (22/1), Boragh Empress (22/1), Ballycommon Chapel (40/1), Maricruz (50/1), Polar Peak (66/1), Canning (80/1)

The versatile GOLDEN SANDBANKS added another win to his tally when winning over C&D in good style when last seen in November and is taken to follow up. Boragh Empress shaped better than the distance beaten suggests on yard debut/return over C&D 2 weeks ago so is one to note in the betting, with the progressive Celtic Revival another to consider.
