Forecasts

The Gem State (4/9), Connells Cross (4/1), Mords Lavie Spigao (8/1), Smart Order (11/1), Scopic (25/1), Hillsteels Blue (33/1), Dolly Dior (40/1), Datstheholyallofit (66/1)

THE GEM STATE makes obvious appeal having joined a top stable after finishing second on his sole outing in Irish points, so he's taken to add to his trainer's excellent record at this track by making a winning start under Rules. Mords Lavie Spigao is another likely type on paper and one to watch closely in the betting, while recent C&D winner Connells Cross merits consideration under a penalty, too.
