Forecasts

Red Glory (5/2), Seasett (4/1), Ossie's Lodge (4/1), Boom Boom Boom (9/2), Only A Dollar (6/1), Lope De Light (7/1), Augusta George (9/1), Rauzan (10/1), High Honour (25/1)

RED GLORY has improved with each start over hurdles, edged out only late in the day on the back of an 8-week break at Tipperary 32 days ago and, with further progress likely, he looks to hold sound claims of going one place better. Ossie's Lodge (fourth on the Flat at Fairyhouse on Friday) is shaping up well and he's a threat if lining up here. Seasett can do best of the remainder.
