Forecasts

Hijo De La Luna (9/4), Clarinbridge (5/1), Navorrosse (5/1), Sadiqaa (6/1), Saffredi (7/1), The Bog Bank (7/1), Blue Wood (8/1), The Stray Sod (11/1), Luxury Island (11/1), Rebecca's Girl (14/1), Perfect Curves (16/1), Mulgrave (16/1), Hope And Innocence (16/1), Mullacash Buzz (22/1), Rock Dandy (28/1), Silver Nemo (50/1), Tartaraghan (66/1)

SAFFREDI shaped much better than the bare result on handicap debut at Leopardstown last week, keeping on when badly hampered over 1f out, and looks to have a bigger effort in the locker. He gets the vote over Hijo de La Luna and Navorrosse.
