Forecasts

Magic Dawn (9/4), Notkeepinyagoing (7/2), Ashdale Flyer (5/1), Roxhill Roise (5/1), Doyen Magic (7/1), Slotty Dotty (11/1), Royal Cave (22/1), Miss D Hunter (25/1), Pfeiffer (66/1)

A trappy mares' maiden with NOTKEEPINYAGOING chanced to bounce back from her poor run at Tramore having chased home the now 138-rated Jetara prior to that at Fairyhouse. Roxhill Roise was much improved when well backed and second at Thurles 3 weeks ago and clearly has races in her. Magic Dawn and Ashdale Flyer both remain with potential for their top yards.
