Forecasts

Ard Na Mara (7/2), Mythical Rock (4/1), Vadali (4/1), Strolling (9/2), Yes Oui Si (8/1), Powerful Hook Head (17/2), Coul Dreamer (10/1), Genoah (18/1), Blathnaid (28/1), Lost Soul (50/1), Perfect Reel (66/1), Good Time Jonny (66/1), Storm Averted (80/1), Onlyinyourdreams (80/1), Molto Amichi (100/1), Binneas (100/1)

POWERFUL HOOK HEAD made an encouraging start to his career at Gowran and, likely to be more street-wise this time, he is taken to come out on top. Vadali has found just one too good in maidens at Limerick and Galway the last twice and should be in the thick of things once more, while Strolling is also of strong interest on the back of her near miss at Tramore. Ard Na Mara makes each-way appeal, along with Coul Dreamer.
