Forecasts

Camille Pissarro (4/6), Midnight Strike (3/1), Arizona Blaze (7/1), Unexpected Issues (12/1), The Parthenon (16/1), Monotone (50/1), Local Lad (100/1)

CAMILLE PISSARRO made a winning debut in cosy fashion at Navan 4 weeks ago and, with improvement forthcoming, is taken to remain unbeaten. Midnight Strike cleared away from a subsequent winner in the manner of a useful prospect here last month and will be no pushover though, while Arizona Blaze should give another good account.
