Forecasts

Carsons Dreamboat (11/4), Ballyredinkingston (10/3), Dancing Dame (10/3), Mustang Mozzie (6/1), Mystical Madness (8/1), Morning Mayhem (12/1), Ballyteigue Bay (16/1), Townscupsixtythree (28/1), Biddy Early (40/1)

DANCING DAME holds the clear edge on form so is taken to gain a breakthrough victory now she has her sights lowered appreciably. Killarney third Ballyredinkingston could emerge as the main danger ahead of Gordon Elliott's returning Carsons Dreamboat.
