Forecasts

Tellthemi'mhere (16/5), Sir Antonino (4/1), Persian Queen (9/2), Gradulations (5/1), In From The Cold (13/2), Red Ball Of Fire (9/1), En Or (11/1), Dalvey (18/1), Out On Friday (20/1)

PERSIAN QUEEN justified strong support at Cork 11 days ago and, given the way she found for pressure there, this step back up in trip will likely suit. In From The Cold is well weighted in this sphere, with En Or worth a market check on Irish debut.
