Forecasts

A Little Bit Me (5/4), Ma Fee Heela (13/8), Music Box (13/8), Branch Line (4/1), Alfredo Arcano (13/2)

A Little Bit Me is no certainty to turn up here having held an engagement at Leopardstown on Thursday evening. Regardless, she has a significant ratings rise to overcome in what looks a tricky contest. Music Box was not beaten far last time by a progressive looking rival and should go well again while Ma Fee Heela ran credibly in similar company at Leopardstown last time and has potential for bitter. BRANCH LINE drops back from a mile but shouldn't meet anything of Irishcorrespondent's class here and has already run well over 7f at this track. He can progress again and give weight away in this.
