Forecasts

Gorgeous Suspect (11/8), Misty's Gift (15/8), Gino Drummer Boy (7/2), Down Around (9/2), Zettabyte (15/2), Sixhandsinmypocket (8/1), Forest Breeze (8/1), Knocknagappagh (17/2), Royal Class (33/1), Keeffelee (40/1), What A Flirth (50/1), Inchidaly Robin (50/1), Sea Aster (80/1), Ballydangan (150/1), Rajjnatin (250/1), Instinct De Loup (250/1), Lacken Run (250/1), He Might Be Lucky (300/1), Nicoles Getaway (400/1)

MISTY'S GIFT has been in good form lately and would have been second in a novice at Wexford but for departing late. In a thin race, he's found a good opportunity to open his account for all that Gorgeous Suspect is quite closely matched on form. Point winner Forest Breeze is worth monitoring in the betting.
