Forecasts

Theflyingbee (4/1), Serienmond (11/2), Red Glory (11/2), Chanceawetmorning (6/1), Avalo (15/2), Arctic Flame (15/2), Elusive Ogie (8/1), Camlin Park (10/1), Liam Swagger (12/1), Heroes Rise (14/1), Final Orders (16/1), Dreal Deal (33/1), Barrys Spirit (33/1)

A few with chances but THEFLYINGBEE rates the pick at these weights and is fancied to gain a deserved success and bag a second C&D success. Red Glory heads the list of dangers on the back of a good recent Galway fourth ahead of Camlin Park and Liam Swagger.
