Forecasts

Major Barry (10/3), Midweek Voices (7/2), Tell Me This (4/1), Drumgill (9/2), Drumcliff Bay (13/2), Storms End (17/2), Sage Conseil (10/1), Island Mccoo (16/1), Way Down South (16/1), Dear Orla (20/1), Ourgingernut (20/1), Mr Eastwood (22/1), Ballinvasas Best (33/1), Raby Mere (33/1), Mighty Soldier (50/1), Nicolas Fortune (66/1), Another Question (100/1), Pasquetta (150/1), Doyen Og (200/1)

MIDWEEK VOICES arrives on the back of 2 good runs so makes the most appeal in a weak maiden. Drumgill is a big threat on the pick of his form, while bumper-winner Sage Conseil is open to improvement in this sphere.
