Forecasts

Ilbdare (15/8), The Miracle Man (10/3), Betty Dutton (7/2), Roxboro River (5/1), Lets Do This (13/2), Killinure Lass (7/1), Cosmo Renfro (11/1), Arrycan (12/1), Irish Envoy (18/1), Masterboy Davis (22/1), Shotgun Jack (22/1), Oskar High (25/1), Love Bite (33/1), Eddies Pride (50/1)

ILBDARE took a step back in the right direction when third at Tramore last time out and can now capitalise on a handy-looking mark to gain his breakthrough success. In-form Betty Dutton is on a losing run but feared most, although the likes of Roxboro River, Lets Do This, Love Bite, The Miracle Man and Eddies Pride can all have a say too in this very open handicap.
