Forecasts

Inchidaly Copper (2/1), Barryroe Madam (5/1), Dunany Point (6/1), Tackletommywoowoo (9/1), Lough Nigara (9/1), Rewrite The Script (10/1), Alright Darling (16/1), Ballinoe Blaze (16/1), Sir Carnegie (18/1), Max Time (20/1), Jekiki (22/1), Kilfera (28/1), Love Like This (33/1), Fill The Tank (33/1), Better Than Heaven (33/1), Foxy Rock (40/1), Three Tribes (50/1), Cregane Ned (50/1)

BARRYROE MADAM looked set to collect only to unseat her rider at the last at Naas last time out and is fancied to gain compensation off the same mark. Inchidaly Copper is feared most on the back of a chasing victory at Tipperary with Sir Carnegie, Lough Nigara and Ballinoe Blaze in the mix too.
