Forecasts

Charlie Luciano (6/4), Gortmillish (9/4), Lady Of The Vale (10/3), Stuzzikini (4/1), Lisnamult Lad (9/2), Crecerelle (200/1)

GORTMILLISH should have more to offer now stepping up in trip and is narrowly preferred to Andrew Slattery's Lady of The Vale, who has done very well in recent months. The selection's stablemate Stuzzikini and last week's Bellewstown scorer Charlie Luciano are others unlikely to be far away.
