Forecasts

Kilgorey (7/2), Light Parade (9/2), Corkbeg (5/1), Beeverstown Bullet (7/1), Rosfoyle (17/2), Beat Of The Sea (10/1), Powerful Blue (11/1), Captain Lightfoot (16/1), Red Finch (18/1), Eastern Tornado (25/1), Ben Vrackie (25/1), Kayla's Delight (28/1), Made In The Woods (33/1), Champagne Auction (40/1), Trip To Milan (50/1), Coppercoast Paudie (50/1)

A thin race that might go the way of KILGOREY who is handicapped to win and shaped well against a pace bias when second at Clonmel last time. Corkbeg, who landed the first division of that race, looks a threat and Light Parade isn't one to write off.
