Forecasts

Priory Park (4/1), Old Soul (4/1), Tyre Kicker (9/2), Brideswell Lad (8/1), Super Citizen (8/1), Clounts Pride (9/1), Sunnyvilla (10/1), R'evelyn Pleasure (14/1), Lizrona (14/1), Presenting Point (16/1), Smitty Bacall (18/1)

TYRE KICKER arrives on a four-timer and can improve again back up in trip, so he takes preference over Old Soul, who upped his game to open his account over fences at Clonmel last time. Clounts Pride is also considered.
