Forecasts

Meehall (9/2), What An Ocean (5/1), Cosmo Renfro (11/2), Billies Filly (11/2), Ballydangan (11/2), Well Polly (13/2), Kingston Kid (9/1), Celine Man (10/1), Captain Jimmy (12/1), Oldtown To Emly (14/1), Ferrum (25/1), Chosen Shant (33/1), Treyarnon Bay (33/1), Costaweefortune (40/1), Grand Rouge (50/1), Golden Glen (66/1), Kingsofthemidlands (100/1)

BILLIES FILLY improved when third at Sligo last time and she can do better still upped in trip, so she's preferred to What An Ocean, who is well treated if able to build on her latest effort. Celine Man is also respected.
