Forecasts

Folly Master (1/1), He Fitz In (4/1), Baldur's Gate (7/1), Made In The Woods (8/1), Starlight Cato (17/2), Atacanter (16/1), Plain Or Battered (18/1), Soldier Of Honour (28/1)

FOLLY MASTER created a good impression when going in at the first time of asking over fences at Thurles and looks very much the way to go here. Baldur's Gate appeals as the one to chase home Tom Dreaper's hat-trick seeker ahead of Starlight Cato and Made In The Woods.
