Forecasts

Ardagh Red (5/4), Inns Of Fear (10/3), Mariner Boy (11/2), Palmezzano (7/1), Artic Power (8/1), Glinka (14/1), Final Secret (33/1), Ribee (50/1), Beaune (80/1), Haqawi (125/1), Chriselli (150/1)

ARDAGH RED gets the nod on the back of his encouraging debut second over 7f here 16 days ago, although strong market support for well-bred Joseph O'Brien newcomer Glinka would put a slightly different slant on things. His stablemate Mariner Boy should have more to offer on the back of his debut over C&D 4 weeks ago and completes the shortlist.
