Forecasts

Pipers Boreen (4/1), Priory Park (4/1), Portarlington (9/2), U Asking Me (11/2), The Little Yank (6/1), Killinure Lass (8/1), Pebble Bleu (17/2), Therellbguddaysyet (10/1), Game And Glory (14/1), I A Connect (33/1)

PRIORY PARK added to his yard's purple patch at Limerick last week and on that evidence, a 5 lb rise may not prevent the follow up. Pipers Boreen should be a factor back in a handicap, with Portarlington and Therellbguddaysyet are potential improvers.
