Forecasts

Miss Tempo (7/2), Definiteadare (5/1), Rocky's Howya (11/2), Glen Robin (6/1), Rare Conor (13/2), Royal Aide (7/1), Christmas Jumper (7/1), Siberian Star (15/2), Chasing Abbey (8/1), Dedanann (9/1), Walk Me Home (9/1), Fill The Tank (11/1), Doldido (12/1), Diggin Deep (12/1), Supreme Vinnie (14/1), Thatbeatsbanagher (14/1), Kilgorey (22/1), Pepper'n Salt (22/1), Pass The Ball (22/1), Happy Lad (33/1), Building Bridges (100/1)

An opening handicap mark in the low-100s looks very manageable for Tramore maiden winner MISS TEMPO who should be capable of better again for her top stable. Royal Aide had a bit in hand when scoring at Kilbeggan last month and heads the dangers along with Definiteadare, who was in good form when last seen in the spring.
