Forecasts

Pink In The Park (2/5), Barry Lyndon (4/1), Ossifer Hops (6/1), Valleyoftheeagles (17/2), Je T'ai Porte (14/1), Sidiriya (14/1), Pro Bono (20/1), Homestead Ned (200/1)

Quite a useful novice in which PINK IN THE PARK, who was placed in a Fairyhouse Grade 1 before landing a Cork maiden, is taken to prove too strong for Barry Lyndon and Gordon Elliott's Ossifer Hops.
