Forecasts

Harbour Vision (7/2), Come On John (4/1), Cobh Harbour (9/2), Billy McGarry (8/1), Mykonos St John (17/2), Cerulean Summer (17/2), Just Typical (10/1), Alexander James (20/1), Monks Mead (20/1), Hellavapace (28/1), Sir Titan (28/1)

CERULEAN SUMMER has a tendency to put herself on the back foot out of the stalls, but she overcame it with an impressive display to open her account here 10 days and she's fancied to defy a penalty with the scope for better still. Harbour Vision is in form and boasts an excellent track record, so he's regarded the main threat ahead of Alexander James. Come On John is interesting starting out for James Owen.
