Forecasts

Doonbeg Don (9/2), Max Time (5/1), Rossies Tara (5/1), Brogue Man River (6/1), Stowaway Lass (7/1), Pearlofflorida (17/2), Vintage Gold (12/1), Ardfert Mary (14/1), Derby De Thaix (14/1), Whiskey Lady (14/1), Movie King (14/1), Good Bye Milan (14/1), But What About Me (16/1), Fly De Megaudais (16/1), Bowgate Street (18/1), Lispopple (22/1), Mr Mcwhinny (28/1), Celtic Crossing (66/1), Fernhill Fling (66/1)

The vote goes to MAX TIME, who raised his game when belatedly getting off the mark in a big-field Galway handicap earlier this month. He was a respectable fifth off this 7 lb higher mark at Tramore next time. Rossies Tara looks dangerous on the back of a solid effort at Kilbeggan, while Vintage Gold makes some each-way appeal on the back of his decent display at Killarney last time. But What About Me would also have a chance if at her best.
