Forecasts

One Big Bang (4/1), Champagne Mahler (4/1), Magic Conqueror (5/1), Blossom De Mai (5/1), West Away (10/1), C'est Rien (10/1), Gold Haven (11/1), Duke Otto (11/1), Tingarran Express (12/1), Thelonglad (12/1), Arthor (18/1), Glorious Singer (20/1), Miala Araya (22/1), Barryroe Madam (25/1), Lodilomoco (25/1), Knocknaconnery (28/1), Aodhan May (33/1), Ivy Park (50/1), Mason Lady (66/1), Colline Fleurie (66/1), Tullabrack Lad (80/1), Didyouseethelight (80/1)

CHAMPAGNE MAHLER took a step forward despite not being subjected to a hard ride when third at Wexford last month and looks an interesting contender up in trip on handicap bow. Blossom de Mai and Magic Conqueror arrive in top form having finished 1-2 at Tramore 12 days ago and they head the dangers.
