Forecasts

Tara Power (2/1), Forgetmenotblue (7/2), Gemini Man (11/2), Celtic Revival (7/1), Mosaaheb (8/1), Bringsty (8/1), Han Solo (8/1), Lily Of The Glen (9/1), Stardayz (10/1), Never Back Down (12/1), Virtual Hug (14/1), Ragtime Red (16/1), Aleksey Tolstoy (20/1), Wrapitup (33/1), Cryptos Dream (50/1), Little Trigger (50/1), The Peckhampouncer (66/1)

MOSAAHEB ran one of this season's better races when runner-up at Laytown in September and a reproduction of that form could see him go one better back in handicap company on first start for his new yard. Virtual Hug ran respectably on his most recent start in this sphere, so merits consideration, along with Bringsty, who can have a say if bouncing back from a poor run in the mud at Naas.
