Forecasts

Individualiste (10/11), Andys Flame (17/2), Don't Talk (11/1), A Wave Of The Sea (12/1), Mighty Oak Lad (12/1), Dawn Escape (12/1), Valsorpresa (14/1), Happy Dreams (16/1), Room To Roam (20/1), Soloman Lane (20/1), Handsworth (22/1), A Year Older (40/1)

INDIVIDUALISTE opened his chasing account with ease at Thurles last time and looks on a good mark back in a handicap. Soloman Lane can go well fresh and won at Leopardstown when last seen in March, so is next best ahead of Dawn Escape, who may do better now handicapping.
