Forecasts

Epaulawn (9/2), Lauroline (11/2), Angel On Fire (6/1), Kodiac Prince (13/2), Relevant Range (17/2), Dumb Love (9/1), Lohengrin (10/1), Tasmanian Girl (11/1), Bright Start (11/1), The Blue Panther (14/1), Thirtysecondstreet (22/1), Sunset Nova (22/1), Talking Tough (33/1), Wyckham B (66/1), Cloughaneely Mor (150/1)

LOHENGRIN raised his game and looked ahead of his mark when a fast-finishing second in a Cork handicap 12 days ago and, if he can back that up, he's the one to beat in a race that should be run to suit. Kodiac Prince is a formidable opponent having run well at Killarney recently and Lauroline is worthy of respect debuting for a new yard.
