Forecasts

Last Encore (9/4), Gloriously Glam (10/3), Wise Men Say (9/2), James The Second (5/1), Peregrine Falcon (7/1), Katie Ross (9/1), Arizona Beauty (11/1), Ottoman (14/1), Hugo's Girl (16/1), Barton Key (16/1), Dance For Chester (28/1), Ink Sketch (80/1)

WISE MEN SAY had an excuse in a valuable sales race at Naas last time and looks well treated judged on his Cork win prior to that. His stablemate Gloriously Glam scored so easily at Sligo last time that even a 13 lb rise doesn't leave her handicapped out of things. James The Second had the worst of the draw when fifth to Gloriously Glam at Sligo and should get closer to her this time.
