Forecasts

Bay Hill (7/4), Silver Star (5/2), Conron (4/1), Billy's Angel (7/1), Make It Hurrah (9/1), Thomas O'Malley (25/1)

SILVER STAR had the measure of his rivals at Downpatrick five days ago and while he concedes a penalty for that win, Conor Orr's claim could prove very useful in helping him double up. Bay Hill has been in good form on the Flat either side of a hurdles success at Listowel last month and should go well again. Going up in distance, Conron might be best of the remainder.
