The Dara Man⁸

Forecasts

No Flies On Him (4/1), Seskin Flash (9/2), Trasna Na Pairce (9/2), St Faz (11/2), Sayitfirst (10/1), Someone's Wish (10/1), Money Heist (11/1), Splashing Out (14/1), Solsbury Hill (16/1), Individualiste (16/1), The Dara Man (18/1), Jouster (33/1)

Lots with chances but SAYITFIRST rates the pick of the weights on the back of her very good recent Tramore second so edges the vote from ready Downpatrick scorer Seskin Flash and handicap debutant Trasna Na Pairce. St Faz and Money Heist complete the shortlist back over fences.
