Forecasts

Bear Right (5/2), Comfort Line (11/2), Ardadslosttheplot (7/1), Faoladh (7/1), Dawn Flame (15/2), Dynamic Force (11/1), Rodeeve (11/1), Notforalongtime (14/1), Frosted Sky (14/1), Mehmar (16/1), God Knows (16/1), Prime Sign (18/1), Smaoineamh Sile (20/1), Ardeur (28/1), Cordouan (66/1)

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and this looks a good opportunity for BEAR RIGHT to build on an eye-catching third at Fairyhouse and gain a breakthrough win. Frosted Sky looks ready to take a step forward now she goes handicapping and could emerge as the main danger ahead of Comfort Line and Dynamic Force.
