Forecasts

Local Lad (13/8), Beautiful Affair (15/8), Ready To Mingle (9/2), Tokyo Treasure (5/1), La Flute (13/2), Zesty Belle (9/1), Phidias Ovation (50/1), Spirit Of Indalo (80/1), Without Love (100/1), Lo Tengo Claro (125/1), One For Teigan (150/1)

The vote goes to TOKYO TREASURE, who was a good third over this trip at Downpatrick on his penultimate start and the step up to a mile seemingly counted against him at Naas next time. Local Lad sets the standard and is a much-respected main danger, with Beautiful Affair and Ready To Mingle expected to do battle for minor honours.
