Forecasts

Star Harbour (11/4), Slieve Bearnagh (5/1), Dame Rapide (13/2), Mary's Pride (7/1), Tankardstown Diva (10/1), Son Of Hypnos (11/1), Inchiquin Star (11/1), Pahlavi (12/1), Wajaaha (14/1), Leitzel (25/1), Rodney Bay (25/1), Sonny May (28/1), Peckham Springs (28/1)

STAR HARBOUR is 0-5 over hurdles but he's won three times on the Flat this year and is of interest back in this sphere off a potentially handy mark. Slieve Bearnagh and Inchiquin Star rate the main dangers in that order of preference, while Dame Rapide and Wajaaha both make some each-way appeal.
