Forecasts

Delamotte (7/2), Bunker Buster (7/2), Teofil (7/1), Hartford (7/1), Mr Ragstone (7/1), Pretty Fortunate (11/1), Summer Bee (12/1), Ignite The Moment (12/1), Jerpoint Abbey (14/1), Ballyadam Star (16/1), Red Seagull (18/1), Robbie Diamonds (25/1), Gotawinnerinyou (50/1), Evans Wishes (50/1), Eamon's Dream (66/1), Kinbara Fiftyfifty (66/1), Rossnowlagh (66/1), Senorita Diana (100/1), Blue Nude (125/1), Its My Twist (250/1)

An interesting bumper with some excellent pedigrees/yards on show. MR RAGSTONE is just about the pick before market clues, though his stablemate Summer Bee and Pretty Fortunate also tick plenty of boxes on paper. Bunker Buster has achieved most of those with prior experience in this sphere.
