Forecasts

Call The Tune (9/4), Foxfire Glow (9/2), Moonovercloon (9/2), Ballyglass Beauty (11/2), Peaches And Cream (11/2), Dorans River (6/1), Hand Over Fist (7/1), Mister Beeton (8/1), Workforadime (14/1), Macgiloney (16/1), The Little Yank (18/1), Fully Charged (20/1), Pairc Na Ngael (25/1), Fairyhill Run (25/1), Scarpia (28/1)

FOXFIRE GLOW is on a steep upward curve and had something to spare when landing a novice at Tramore a month ago, so he gets the nod ahead of Call The Tune and Mister Beeton, who were both runner-up on their latest outing.
