Forecasts

Naples (11/4), Stella Alpina (3/1), Colter Bay (4/1), Washington Street (15/2), Sun Soldier (9/1), Charasson (12/1), Suerte (12/1), Angel Of Promise (16/1), Bennu (20/1), Best Suggestion (22/1), Eichan San (28/1), Mise Freisin (40/1), Dreaminthejungle (50/1), Men Of Honour (80/1), Radient Man (80/1), Describe (200/1), Grown Ups (250/1), Lady Crossing (250/1)

COLTER BAY showed up well for a long way in a strongly-run maiden here on his debut earlier in the month and could be the answer if taking a step forward. Sun Soldier made a similarly encouraging start to his career when runner-up at Navan 6 weeks ago and should improve, while Stella Alpina is better judged on her previous form having gone off too hard at Fairyhouse on her most recent outing.
