Forecasts

Old Faithful (9/4), Glor Tire (11/4), Harbour Gem (6/1), Gibbs Island (13/2), Rapid Mission (8/1), Going Remote (17/2), Cheeky Wink (14/1)

GOING REMOTE improved when tackling this trip for the first time at Fairyhouse recently and is narrowly preferred to Aidan O'Brien's Old Faithful. Cheery Wink wasn't seen to best effect on her handicap debut and is another who could have a say.
