Forecasts

Moon Daisy (5/2), Extensio (10/3), Line Out (10/1), Melburnian (10/1), El Tren (12/1), Takarengo (12/1), Pike County (12/1), True Destiny (14/1), Whirling Dervish (14/1), Machine Learner (16/1), Majestic Jewel (16/1), Excelcius (18/1), Magnetic North (20/1), Banjo (20/1), Out On Friday (22/1), Mountain Fox (22/1), Igraine (25/1), Arthurian Fame (25/1), Contrapposto (25/1), Khezaana (66/1), Jeweller (66/1), Yenillik (100/1)

EL TREN teed himself up nicely for this when keeping on into fourth at Tipperary after an absence and is fancied to take a step forward now and complete his hat-trick in this event. Moon Daisy is feared most on the back of her stylish Fairyhouse success last week with Roscommon scorer Magnetic North also well worth considering in an open handicap.
