Forecasts

I Am Spider Man (5/4), Anstand (9/2), Beat Of The Sea (9/2), Beechroad Winnie (9/2), La Hacienda (5/1), Ventnor (6/1), Bella Union (7/1), Sixty Seconds (14/1), Westernerona (14/1), Happy Dancing (14/1), Battle Of Ridgeway (16/1), Lough Na Fooey (16/1), Lonracha (16/1), Mosaaheb (20/1), Roman Parish (28/1), Rathnaleen Zoey (40/1), Ballygriffin Girl (50/1), Stealing Kisses (50/1), Sunwalk (50/1)

BELLA UNION has yet to trouble the judge but he showed enough on his penultimate start at Punchestown to suggest that a race of this nature would be within his grasp. If the first-time blinkers have the desired effect, Anstand could be the one to follow the selection home. Battle of Ridgeway may well up his game now pitched into a handicap and he is third choice.
