Forecasts

CHURCHFIRLED SUNSET looked a good prospect when readily justiifying short odds in a Cork bumper a month ago and she's capable of defying a penalty with more to come. Minella Hollow, another impressive debut winner, looks the main threat, although Bowensonfire appeals as an interesting newcomer for a top yard.
