Forecasts

Red Glory (4/1), The Names Jock (4/1), Chatterbox (9/2), Baltinglass Hill (13/2), It'sallabouteve (9/1), Dame Rapide (11/1), Morricone (12/1), Paradise Lost (14/1), Spy (18/1), Contrapposto (18/1), Dark Image (20/1), En Or (20/1), Kilbrin Rocco (22/1), Fascinating Shadow (25/1), The Grey Falco (40/1), Wouldn't You Agree (50/1)

The suggestion is Henry de Bromhead's RED GLORY, who went close in a Tipperary handicap in May and backed that up when second in a novice at Downpatrick last month. The Names Jock arrives on the back of 2 fine efforts on the Flat and heads the many possible dangers along with the thriving Itsallabouteve and Roscommon winner Baltinglass Hill.
