Forecasts

Ballybaymoonshiner (9/2), Hul Ah Bah Loo (5/1), Kondratiev Wave (11/2), Dulcet Spirit (11/2), No Turning Back (10/1), Hombre (11/1), Kodi Noir (14/1), Mashaan (14/1), Ajrad (16/1), Lady Wingalong (18/1), Regal Glory (18/1), Hold The Press (20/1), River Wharfe (22/1), Arnie Angell (80/1)

A chance is taken on MASHAAN, who has a 10-month absence to overcome but has been given a big chance by the handicapper on first start back with his former yard. Ballybaymoonshiner is respected in his follow-up bid, with Hul Ah Bah Loo another not to take lightly, especially with a strong pace forecast.
