Forecasts

The Marty Party (2/1), Moonhall Church (5/1), Heishybrid (7/1), Dandy Khan (9/1), Montpellier Green (10/1), Ottoman (12/1), Shiota (14/1), Mykonian Odyssey (16/1), Expert Analysis (18/1), Native Honey (18/1), Mood Altering (18/1), Tofino (20/1), Irish Acclamation (20/1), Tomarlo (50/1), Desmond Castle (80/1), Tiger Kitten (150/1)

THE MARTY PARTY looks well treated after his improved second at Listowel on Wedensday and can go one better. His stablemate Montpellier Green should have more to offer now returning to 7f for his handicap debut and is feared most ahead of Moonhall Church and Mykonian Odyssey.
