Forecasts

Blue Reed (9/4), Coffeys Forge (10/3), Without Exception (4/1), Silent Flight (8/1), Joe's Turn (10/1), Lariat (10/1), I'm For Home (11/1), Duce Bigalow (20/1), Kiln Time (22/1), Awakino (33/1), Run For Cover (40/1), Sonny Fella (40/1), High Honour (50/1), Nicoles Getaway (50/1), Masterstonemason (100/1), Princess Fiadh (150/1)

It could be worth chancing I'M FOR HOME, who possibly still needed the run after another 3 months off at Fairyhouse and is on a nice mark on the pick of his form. Blue Reed has made a bright start for this yard and rates the main threat ahead of the in-form Coffeys Forge.
