Forecasts

Nazine (4/1), Listenheretomejack (9/2), General Clermont (6/1), Lilian Bland (13/2), A Mere Bagatelle (7/1), Copper Coast (8/1), Malton Groove (8/1), Walk In The Dark (17/2), Lake Chad (9/1), Definiteadare (10/1), Land Jet (14/1), Out Of The Park (16/1), Presenting Point (33/1)

The vote goes to LILIAN BLAND, who probably didn't stay 23f at Clonmel and she was a decisive winner over this trip in a Thurles handicap on her penultimate start. General Clermont may well emerge as the main danger if able to back up his latest effort, while Definiteadare and Listenheretomejack should both be in the shake-up.
