Forecasts

Enchanted Garden (7/2), Purring Along (9/2), Zipster (5/1), Nakasero (11/2), Harry The Rogue (6/1), Goldrush Kid (13/2), Pinball Wizard (14/1), Rock Etoile (16/1), Zuzukel (16/1), Brains (20/1), Touch The Sound (20/1), Chavajod (25/1), Mogwli (33/1), Sinbad My Dad (50/1)

ZIPSTER did well to finish as close as he did following a tardy start in a steadily-run race at Leopardstown last time and in the hope he has a better pace to aim at this time, he could be the answer. Goldrush Kid drops in grade and that makes him of serious interest, with the likeable Harry The Rogue completing the shortlist.
