Forecasts

Shes Some Doll (7/2), Broken Ice (5/1), Priory Park (11/2), Arrycan (6/1), Lake Chad (15/2), A Mere Bagatelle (8/1), Innovated (8/1), Call The Tune (17/2), Scalor (20/1), Flindt (28/1)

INNOVATED seemed to have his stamina stretched over just short of 2¾m on deep ground at Fairyhouse when last seen in January and is likely capable of better now faced with a sharper test on handicap debut. Lake Chad ran his best race for a while when third at Killarney 3 weeks ago and is second choice ahead of recent Tramore runner-up Priory Park.
