Forecasts

Warm In Gorey (10/3), Erigmoor (7/2), One And Only (4/1), Stockdale (9/2), Dgalwaygallivantor (11/2), Gaye Winnie (8/1), Ceanndana (9/1), Mikita (14/1), Baby Chou (22/1), Falvio (28/1), Billable Grant (50/1), Imminent Arrival (80/1), May Call You Back (125/1)

Not a strong race so a reproduction of WARM IN GOREY's fifth-place finish in novice company last week may well suffice. Erigmoor has a bigger performance in him over fences so is second choice, ahead of Ceanndana on his return to action.
