Forecasts

Garnacho (6/4), Cois Fharraige (7/2), Klassman (5/1), Tea It Is (9/1), The Border Boy (11/1), Dee's Getaway (12/1), Avandra (14/1), Glens Sensation (14/1), Younowhatimean (18/1), Shing Shilla (20/1), Illucidate (20/1), O' Bon Pardon (20/1), Jaadil (28/1), Stone Forest (28/1), Mystic Milly (28/1), Godblessyourosie (28/1), Poetic Focus (66/1)

Though still a maiden following 15 appearances, KLASSMAN has made the frame on each of his last five completed starts and, on the back of a close call at Limerick last time, he is taken to get the job done here. Cois Fharraige and The Border Boy rate the main dangers, though Dee's Getaway and Tea It Is both make some each-way appeal and Glens Sensation could be an improver now pitched into a handicap.
