Forecasts

Drumcondra (5/2), Keats House (3/1), Shielas Well (4/1), Beauty Blossom (11/2), Balmerino (13/2), Gonnae No Dae That (13/2), Blue Siam (8/1)

DRUMCONDRA advanced his form in first-time blinkers when a clear runner-up here recently and is fancied to go one better with the headgear again fitted. In-form pair Shielas Well (second choice) and Keats House are next on the list, although handicap debutante Beauty Blossom also needs considering with the prospect of better to come.
