Forecasts

Beggars Rock (11/4), Milan Forth (7/2), Midnight Our Fred (4/1), Koori Star (4/1), Bal Kauto (9/2), Battle Of Mirbat (5/1), Al Kalila (5/1), Cahirdown Boy (11/2), Soloman Lane (6/1), Cheerful Chap (13/2), Harbour Highway (12/1), Raglan Road (12/1), Midweek Voices (14/1)

MILAN FORTH was pulled up on debut for this yard at Thurles a fortnight ago but the relatively quick turnaround would suggest that all is well and, now 4 lb lower and dropping back slightly in trip, he would have a major chance if reproducing his form from last spring. Raglan Road figures on an attractive mark for his handicap debut in this sphere and is feared most ahead of Al Kalila and Harbour Highway, another sporting the JP McManus colours who may improve now handicapping over fences.
