Forecasts

Glen Kiln (5/4), Musta Lovea Lovea (3/1), Union Station (3/1), Gold In The Rivers (7/2), Spellacy's Cross (50/1), Shraheen (66/1), Shades Of Tara (125/1), Lispopple (150/1), Harveyshonor (150/1)

There was a good deal of promise to glean from UNION STREET's debut third in a maiden over 2m here 4 weeks ago and, open to improvement now stepping up in trip, he could be the way to go representing an in-form yard. Musta Lovea Lovea and Glen Kiln head up the dangers, whilst Gold In The Rivers rates another likely improver.
