Forecasts

Lovely Moon (4/1), Boghlone Honey (9/2), Brosna Rocco (11/2), Courting Vickie (6/1), Eagle Roque (17/2), Rebelle Chaud (9/1), All The Chimneys (9/1), Emancipator (11/1), Presenting Lad (11/1), Crack On Corrie (12/1), Joan Of Pimlico (16/1), Damut (25/1), Falcon Park (33/1), Glenabo Bridge (40/1), It's Time Again (50/1), Missiee (100/1), Swift Sonnet (100/1), Mizz Monroe (125/1), Boola Belle (200/1)

While it's off-putting that COURTING VICKIE has yet to get her head in front, she left the impression that a first career success may be near when fifth in a big-field Galway handicap off this mark in October. She gets the nod ahead of All The Chimneys, who scored off a much higher chase mark at Thurles last time. Brosna Rocco shaped well on her recent return at Limerick and also has claims.
