Forecasts

Golden Sunset (11/4), An Droichead Gorm (3/1), Lovely Carrig (7/2), Mr Bolt (6/1), Flynsini (6/1), Highest Benefit (8/1), Accordion Twilight (12/1), Carried (20/1)

With the rating of 95 given to Lovely Carrig on handicap debut looking a little harsh, AN DROICHEAD GORM can get off the mark for connections at the fifth time of asking over the larger obstacles. The six-year-old was reportedly 'never travelling' on his last start at Fairyhouse last month but can build on a promising run on handicap debut at Galway in October. Bottom weight, Mr Bolt can emerge as the biggest danger in first-time blinkers to assist the veteran 14-year-old. Golden Sunset and Highest Benefit are not out of it in a competitive handicap.
