Forecasts

Perceval Legallois (10/3), Loudest Whisper (6/1), Summer Tide (15/2), Ramondo Dnzeo (8/1), Rebellious Gale (9/1), Kells Priory (10/1), Nathaniel's Dream (12/1), Story Rory (12/1), Not So Simple (14/1), Song Of Earth (14/1), Low Lie The Fields (14/1), Ballyadam Destiny (16/1), Balinaboola Steel (16/1), In Your Shadow (16/1), Twilight Girl (20/1), Bronson In Blue (20/1), Macgiloney (20/1), Quaker Island (20/1), Siberian Star (25/1), Fierami (28/1), Fill The Tank (28/1), Abraham (33/1), Sight Nor Seen (40/1)

PERCEVAL LEGALLOIS made the most of a good opportunity in a novice at Wexford last time but he did so in a manner that suggests there's better to come and an opening mark of 119 may underestimate him. Loudest Whisper and Summer Tide head the dangers.
