Forecasts

Fakiera (4/1), Punitive (9/2), Western Zara (11/2), The Dabbler (6/1), Walking On Glass (8/1), Lord Lariat (9/1), Everglow (9/1), Regina Dracones (11/1), Fairyhill Run (25/1), Braeside (28/1), Spades Are Trumps (33/1), Waitnsee (33/1)

Lots with chances but the vote goes to PUNITIVE who had been in very good form until coming down early at Navan and can bounce back in style here off a handy-looking mark. Stable-companion Fakiera rates the main threat ahead of in-form duo Walking On Glass and Fairyhill Run.
