Forecasts

Park Of Kings (7/2), Dontdooddson (7/2), Mr Macphisto (4/1), Pidoyne (6/1), Star Official (7/1), Angelsworknovrtime (8/1), Serpolette (10/1), Chapel Street (10/1), Spick And Span (10/1), Verbal Sparring (12/1), Go Gill Go (12/1), Malbas (16/1), Nurse Garvey (16/1), Action Station (20/1), Resilient Front (25/1), Ishan (28/1), Paula's Prayer (33/1)

STAR OFFICIAL is well handicapped on his runner-up at Limerick in July and given it's easy to excuse a lesser effort at Wexford since, he looks the way to go. Mr Macphisto was better than ever when winning last week so has to be feared, with Pidoyne another to consider.
