Forecasts

Drombeg Duke (7/2), Dragon Of Malta (5/1), Ransom (13/2), Mary Salome (17/2), Clear Quartz (17/2), New York Angel (9/1), Is That Love (10/1), Half Nutz (11/1), Geological (12/1), Higher Kingdom (14/1), Gegenpressing (16/1), Pearl Palinka (16/1), Ali Babes (28/1), Sunset Nova (33/1), Sevenal (40/1), Peerless (100/1)

Quite a few to consider with DRAGON OF MALTA just about the most persuasive option on the back of a runner-up effort in a slightly better handicap than this at Roscommon 3 weeks ago. Half Nutz has been eased 3 lb despite having a clear excuse last time so he's interesting, with Ransom also considered.
