Forecasts

Gold Creek (7/2), Champions Hill (13/2), Mister Bells (8/1), Olive D'Haguenet (10/1), Echoes Of Family (10/1), Brogine (11/1), Michael's Pick (11/1), Rudy Catrail (11/1), Avec Espoir (12/1), Ocean Glandore (12/1), It's Only A Number (14/1), Stucker Hill (14/1), Cluan Dara (16/1), Railway Muice (18/1), Think Positive (40/1)

RUDY CATRAIL was well clear and going well when running out 5 out in the race won by Brogine at Wexford in June, so he has to be worth another chance off the same mark. Mister Bells can give another good account, while Champions Hill remains low mileage.
