Forecasts

Mr Saxobeat (11/4), Railway Hurricane (7/2), Desert Friend (4/1), Hamundarson (13/2), Too Bright (15/2), Dovlator (17/2), Sphagnum (11/1)

There should be more to come from DESERT FRIEND on the back of his smooth Clonmel maiden success and he could prove the answer to this rated novice. Mr Saxobeat and Sphagnum also arrive on the back of maiden chase wins last month and might give Denis Hogan's charge most to do.
