Forecasts

The Piper's Call (10/11), Just A City Boy (3/1), Howd'yadoit (13/2), Sir Alfie (15/2), Neolithic (9/1), Ridersinthesky (12/1), Stone Bear (40/1), Down The Glen (80/1), Theroadtoserfdom (250/1)

THE PIPER'S CALL outran his odds in a big way when second on debut at the Curragh last month, form that has been advertised, and he seems sure to go well again with improvement on the cards. Newcomer Just A City Boy is very appealing, while Down Royal winner Sir Alfie can progress.
