Forecasts

Punk Poet (4/1), Lasting Peace (5/1), Numidia (11/2), Boadicea Belle (7/1), Scarlet Dancer (17/2), Geological (9/1), Queen Mab (9/1), James Henry (11/1), Captain John Barry (14/1), Kudbegood (16/1), Maestro Stick (22/1), Sunset Nova (25/1), The Dazzer (28/1), The Blue Panther (50/1), Twins For Joy (50/1), Mullacash Buzz (50/1), Flag High (66/1)

Preference is for LASTING PEACE, who posted his best effort yet in first-time blinkers (retained here) when runner-up at Bellewstown last month. The booking of Colin Keane adds to his appeal and he should go close off the same mark here, provided he is able to build on that now switched to this surface. Boadicea Belle is equipped with blinkers for the first time herself and looks dangerous having returned to form when third over C&D last time. Numidia and Punk Poet are others to consider.
