Forecasts

Apricot Ice (11/10), Igor Stravinsky (5/2), Versatile (5/1), White Clover (12/1), An Mhi Abu (12/1), Hilasmos (14/1), Hot To Foxtrot (16/1), Speedwood (25/1), Perfect Reel (50/1), Purple Sky (66/1), Invincible Keen (100/1), Sub Rosa (150/1), Mastastroque (200/1), Sayfa Fad (200/1), Saxon Kingdom (250/1)

APRICOT ICE pulled clear of a subsequent winner when beaten only by a useful prospect in a similar event at Dundalk on return and can go one better. Igor Stravinsky was only just edged out at the Curragh on debut 3 weeks ago and is the obvious threat with Hilasmos and White Clover best of the others.
