Forecasts

Costanuci (10/3), Tennessee Titan (7/2), Spring Street (4/1), Royal Recital (8/1), Beechroad Winnie (10/1), Rewrite The Script (11/1), Nomadic Star (14/1), Kilmurry Jj (16/1), Tick Along (16/1), Cruisin Susan (16/1), Western Dreaming (25/1), Man After Midnight (25/1), Desertmore Glen (28/1), Double Windsor (33/1), Poker Night (33/1), Getaway Molly (50/1), Any Day Now (50/1), Cassidys Girl (80/1)

A few with chances but TENNESSEE TITAN should prove well suited by this return to a longer trip so is taken to open his account off a handy-looking mark. Spring Street is feared most on the back of his good recent second here, although recent Downpatrick scorer Tick Along seems sure to have a say too.
