Forecasts

Kampala Beach (10/3), Special Angel (4/1), Step To Somewhere (5/1), Redemptive Power (6/1), Elsa's Pride (7/1), Hurricane Helen (7/1), Explorers Way (8/1), Jawhary (9/1), Tartaraghan (11/1), Inchiquin Maid (16/1), Glyde Ranger (25/1), Honrado (25/1), Nosey Anna (28/1), Star Of Mayo (40/1), Carrickfinn (66/1), Audscar (66/1)

ELSA'S PRIDE's stamina was stretched upped to 14.4f at Killarney last time and she is appealing now back down in trip on this all-weather debut. Next on the list is Explorers Way, who boasts a healthy strike rate on synthetics and he is on a workable mark. Audscar has shown glimmers of ability and could go well at a price, while Step To Somewhere gave it a good shot in the first-time visor at Clonmel and she will be a threat if the headgear works equally well second time round.
