Forecasts

Park Of Kings (5/2), Ring O Roses (4/1), Perzzini (5/1), Quarry Rocco (15/2), Star Official (8/1), Evesham Road (9/1), Derry Lad (9/1), Duncarrig (10/1), Gwan Tadhg (14/1), Me Wee Bonnie Lass (20/1), Eikonix (25/1), Stormy Judge (66/1)

PARK OF KINGS is on a progressive path and there is a good chance he can get the hat-trick up. Ring O Roses and Gwan Tadhg are unlikely to be far away either, in what looks a good handicap in which cases can be made for most.
