Forecasts

El Bello (5/2), Sierra De Gredos (16/5), Rampage (9/2), Seas And Oceans (6/1), Endless Dawn (10/1), Carrickfinn (18/1), Aisling Oscar (18/1), Hastily (20/1), Gatsby Cap (28/1), Circles (28/1), Nika Pika (33/1), Wayne R Walker (40/1), Pulse Of Shanghai (50/1), Karney (100/1)

Solid recent form is in short supply here and RAMPAGE, who is the exception on the back of his good second in a Bellewstown handicap, looks the way to go. Seas And Oceans is 0-14 and has failed to fire so far this year, but he's dangerous to discount having slipped to an attractive mark. El Bello is best of the rest.
