Forecasts

Victory Star (7/2), Bella Be Good (13/2), C'est Rien (15/2), U Asking Me (8/1), Shesabreeze (8/1), Oogum Boogum (9/1), Arrycan (9/1), Goodie Girl (10/1), Mr Macphisto (10/1), Klassman (16/1), Perfectway (20/1), Fairytale New York (22/1), Kilbride Hill (22/1), Ardfert Mary (28/1), Breakintheclouds (66/1)

Having returned to form when third at Galway last time, BELLA BE GOOD may well notch a first career success. U Asking Me has been raised 8 lb for his recent Clonmel victory but recent winning form is at a premium in this contest and he has to be feared. Mr Macphisto is best of the rest.
