Forecasts

Moonlight Getaway (7/2), Rochestown (9/2), Soldier Of Honour (11/2), Wild Hunt (11/2), Ernie From Nurney (10/1), Ennemi Public (11/1), Another Ocana (11/1), Pana To Milan (12/1), Danesfort Mayfly (12/1), Not May (16/1), Johnny Cakes (25/1), Made In Muckross (28/1)

ROCHESTOWN might have found his last run coming too soon and is worth another chance given his career-best win at Tramore the time before. Soldier of Honour is next best ahead of Moonlight Getaway.
