Forecasts

Intense Raffles (4/6), Brampton Belle (4/1), Good Time Jonny (6/1), Bardenstown Lad (6/1)

INTENSE RAFFLES has had his recent victory here boosted and he's likely to follow up at the possible expense of Good Time Jonny who shaped with encouragement at Leopardstown last time and remains with scope based on hurdling form. Brampton Belle is another player.
