Forecasts

Winding River (10/3), The Short Go (7/2), Sphagnum (13/2), Paidi's Passion (13/2), Donacheady Gale (7/1), Menindee (17/2), Streets Of Doyen (10/1), Invictus Machin (12/1), A Wave Of The Sea (12/1), Macgiloney (14/1), Hascoeur Clermont (14/1), Motown Maggie (20/1), Goodnightngodbless (20/1), Sweet Will (28/1), Freewheelin Dylan (40/1)

THE SHORT GO is enjoying a productive season and arrives on the back of a solid effort at Wexford, so he's fancied to get back to winning ways up in trip. Invictus Machin is a danger if strong in the betting and Paidi's Passion should give another good account.
