Forecasts

Feeling The Love (2/1), Balinaboola Steel (4/1), Naturally Blond (7/1), Grey Atlantic Way (8/1), Clonard Street (8/1), Icelip (9/1), Athloman Cottage (12/1), Beale Beach (14/1), Jimmy's Choice (25/1), Loose Chippings (25/1), Aimee Kate (25/1), Cloneen Lady (25/1), Ballyhubbock (50/1)

Verdict

Balinaboola Steel was in the process of mounting a strong challenge at Gowran Park in a handicap last time before he came to grief, while recent Wexford winner Naturally Blond has failed to complete in both starts since. Both have their claims, assuming no accidents. FEELING THE LOVE went well in second at Roscommon this month and ought to be capable of a challenge from 3lb higher now. Athloman Cottage may improve on a fair seasonal reappearance at Roscommon and could make the frame.
  1. Feeling The Love
  2. Balinaboola Steel
  3. Naturally Blond
