Forecasts

Hero Of The Hour (5/2), Patsy Fagan (4/1), Senor Carrots (6/1), Pulse Of Shanghai (13/2), It'll Do My Day (8/1), Eglish (9/1), Disco Bear (12/1), Poet's Pride (18/1), Teddy Boy (18/1), Sosallycanwait (33/1), Wait A Little (125/1)

Sole 3-y-o DISCO BEAR made a solid start to her handicap career when second at Naas last month and can go one better up against older and more exposed opposition. The thriving Hero of The Hour is feared most ahead of James McAuley's Eglish, the mount of Colin Keane.
