Forecasts

Tullyveery Lad (2/1), Tag Man (4/1), Tranquil Sea (5/1), Donkey Years (13/2), Plains Indian (9/1), Regina Dracones (10/1), Walking On Glass (11/1), Grange Walk (16/1)

TULLYVEERY LAD was unlucky to bump into one on a steep upward curve at Limerick 18 days ago and a reproduction of that form could be enough to see him go one better. Tranquil Sea has good claims if ready to roll on this return to action, while Tag Man also requires plenty of respect hailing from an in-form stable.
