Forecasts

Marciano (7/4), Doonbeg Don (10/3), Balally Park (7/2), Midweek Voices (6/1), Jeronimo De L'ouch (7/1), Caughtinaspell (12/1), Double Dating (12/1), Day's A Dawning (12/1), Imperial Fox (16/1), Carlas Big Jim (20/1), Rodney (25/1), Janverlil (25/1), Le Fanu (28/1), Downtheoldbogroad (33/1), Aghmorough Bridge (50/1), Ma Hoey (50/1), Meoulflower (150/1), Silverfort Lady (250/1)

BALALLY PARK improved when fourth in a stronger contest at Wexford and this looks a good opportunity for him to open his account if he's in the same form. Caughtinaspell and Marciano look the main dangers although Ashdale Flyer would merit strong consideration if she got in (currently first reserve).
