Forecasts

North Africa (7/4), Touch The Sound (11/4), Golden Ocean (4/1), Final Curtain (9/2), Lucky Melody (11/2), Liltia (11/1), Authenticate (14/1), Our Katie Girl (18/1), Star Of Phoenix (28/1), Gear Flat (33/1), Dark Willow (150/1), Sea Of Beauty (150/1), Sister Lily (150/1)

TOUCH THE SOUND holds the edge on form so is taken to build on her Leopardstown second and get off the mark. Cork runner-up North Africa could emerge as the main danger, with Liltia, Lucky Melody and Final Curtain also in the picture.
