Forecasts

Tingarran Express (5/2), Definiteadare (7/2), Cloughroe (11/2), Morepowertoya (13/2), Cramers Valley (7/1), Navy Waves (9/1), Toon Town (10/1), Ella Rose (12/1), The Striker Dylan (14/1), Dreamz (14/1), Eikonix (16/1), Kate Ill Know (20/1), Glas Acres (22/1), Moulane West (22/1), Misty Milan (25/1), Fourleaf Shamrock (28/1), Onebrightbluerose (33/1), Fromheretoeternity (33/1), Road To The Weir (40/1), Boxcar Molly (50/1), Ruby Jules (50/1), Carslake (50/1), So Easy Way (100/1)

TINGARRAN EXPRESS overcame a fairly hefty bump when finally off the mark at Clonmel on Thursday and hopes are high that she can quickly double up under a penalty. Cramers Valley shaped with promise at Naas when last seen and he's a threat, with Definiteadare another to note on his return to action.
