Forecasts

Dark Side (3/1), Immutable (4/1), Young Ireland (11/2), San Antonio (6/1), Gunsight (8/1), One Of These Days (10/1), Joaquin Sorolla (10/1), Duke Cador (11/1), Sprewell (16/1), Sixpack (28/1), Dancing Cloud (28/1), Rauzan (33/1), Spring Evening (80/1), Bright N Shine (150/1), Rossmore Nation (150/1)

A competitive maiden with DARK SIDE given the vote to come out on top. There's been plenty of promise to glean from each of his 2 starts over 7f to date and this step up in trip may well unlock further progress now. Immutable gave it a good shot from the front at Listowel 26 days ago and he's feared, along with Duke Cador and Young Ireland.
