Forecasts

Sphagnum (4/1), Hypersonic Missile (5/1), Positive Thinker (11/2), Shuil Na Tra (11/2), Its Not Over Yet (6/1), Vaureal (6/1), Outside The Door (7/1), Sarah Beara (14/1), Stormy Judge (16/1), Coffeys Forge (16/1), Ginnets Girl (16/1), Aurea Fortuna (25/1), Phoenix Cowboy (33/1), Dancing After Dark (33/1), Oh'herewego (80/1)

VAUREAL stepped up on his debut when comfortably landing a novice here 55 days ago and, with the longer trip likely to suit, he's worth a chance to make a successful switch to handicaps. Last-time-out winners Shuil Na Tra and Hypersonic Missile also come into the reckoning.
