Forecasts

Miss Tempo (15/8), Banks Boy (9/2), Skinnider (5/1), Memory Of Youth (6/1), Cotteemcavennigoal (6/1), Garcon Doux (8/1), Doctor Churchill (12/1), Mister Beeton (16/1), Kendancer (16/1), It'sallabouteve (18/1), Rambling Rose (18/1), Young Darleen (18/1), Halsafari (18/1), Fanoir (25/1), Ceroc (28/1), All Walks Of Life (28/1), Junior Alliance (28/1), Monza Man (28/1), Hidalgo Des Mottes (33/1), Fill The Tank (50/1), Simply Shabra (66/1)

There was much to like about MISS TEMPO's performance when landing a big-field Tipperary handicap on Thursday and she could take some stopping if turned out again quickly here. If the 7-y-o doesn't go to post, Memory of Youth could be the way to go but there are several others to consider, too, not least Garcon Doux and Halsafari.
