Forecasts

Sheer Bravado (3/1), Real Appeal (9/2), Ice Cold In Alex (9/2), Tommy Taylor (5/1), Balmari (5/1), Hightimeyouwon (17/2), Prisoner's Dilemma (12/1), Mokhalad (12/1), Verhoyen (12/1), Windham Belle (14/1), Khafaaq (14/1), Time Stands Still (16/1), Silver Service (16/1), Justina (18/1), Cool Vixen (66/1)

SHEER BRAVADO forged away to score at Listowel a week ago and can repeat the feat despite a big rise. Balmari also makes plenty of appeal having landed a maiden at this track 13 days ago, while Real Appeal shouldn't be dismissed returning to a slightly calmer environment than last time.
