Forecasts

Quirt Evans (10/3), Arctic Light (7/2), First Touch (4/1), Oneknightmoreihope (6/1), Grangeclare Native (10/1), Wait Here (11/1), Rebel Waltz (11/1), Sean Says (12/1), Scalino (12/1), Mon Storm (14/1), Pump Road (14/1), Deux Par Deux (14/1), Grand Partner (18/1), Groveman (25/1), Tiger Twenty Two (25/1), Banjo (25/1), Cahirdown Boy (33/1), Getaway Katie (50/1)

QUIRT EVANS showed improved form making handicap debut when third at Limerick last month and has more potential than most. Arctic Light pulled clear of the rest when a narrow winner at the same track and is another to consider along with the lightly-raced First Touch, who's making his handicap bow.
