Forecasts

Sylkie (6/1), Thrifty Of Digby (7/1), Pandion Power (15/2), Come On The Lads (8/1), Speckled Meadow (9/1), Vassula Ryden (10/1), Mythical Rock (11/1), Proleek Prince (11/1), Dragon Of Malta (11/1), Wrist Art (11/1), Pink Socks (11/1), Pepper Noir (12/1), Gandolfo (14/1), Duke Of Leggagh (16/1), Harbour Gem (20/1), Blue Soul (20/1), Sweet Sundowner (33/1), El Regalo (33/1), Out On Friday (33/1), Hutton Glen (40/1), Nituna (80/1)

PANDION POWER is thriving under the promising Rory Mulligan and can get the hat-trick up. Come on The Lads is respected back in this sphere, while Sylkie can bounce back returned to Galway. Market support for Sweet Sundowner starting out for a new yard would be interesting.
