Forecasts

New Ross (5/4), Sellarbridge (2/1), Calagogo (4/1), Look Dont Touch (12/1), Perryville (18/1), Ihavent A Clue (25/1), That's Me Finished (25/1), Helios D'aubrelle (25/1), Right Turn Clyde (50/1), Universal Secret (66/1), The Royal Pump (80/1), Worthachance (80/1), Tadhg R Liam (100/1), Pay The Fine (125/1), Vain Rocks (150/1), Bearwithmenow (150/1), Ink And Rain (150/1), Lamberton Legend (200/1)

This looks an ordinary maiden and a repeat of the form NEW ROSS showed in a competitive race here last month will likely be good enough to see him get off the mark. Calagogo showed a fair level of ability in bumpers so he's put forward as the main danger. Stuart Crawford's Perryville is a newcomer to keep an eye on in the betting.
