Forecasts

Our Dylan (11/2), Ed The Red (6/1), Peace Party (13/2), Galon De Vauzelle (7/1), Ask The Leader (15/2), Trevena (8/1), Powersbomb (8/1), Nazine (9/1), Look Dont Touch (12/1), Amazing Amy (20/1), Romella (20/1), Son Of Hypnos (22/1), Fox Fearless (28/1), Happy Company (40/1), Ucandoit (66/1), Born To Rule (66/1)

TREVENA looks well worth a chance to build on her encouraging comeback second at Downpatrick earlier in the month. Peace Party and Our Dylan also arrive on the back of good runner-up efforts and head the dangers along with Henry De Bromhead handicap newcomer Ed The Red.
