Forecasts

Bluebell Diva (7/2), Doyen Ta Win (4/1), Getaway Katie (13/2), Crowsatedappletart (9/1), Seangoell (11/1), Galmar (12/1), Ranger Billy (12/1), Slieve Bearnagh (14/1), Bella Union (14/1), Duffys Hodey (14/1), Warm In Gorey (16/1), McGrath From Clune (16/1), Sean Og (16/1), Our Dylan (20/1), Oskar High (25/1), Drumbaragh (28/1)

DOYEN TA WIN shaped well under an aggresive ride when runner-up at Wexford and is fancied to go one better here at the chief expense of handicap-debutant Bella Union who wasn't given a hard time of it when ninth at Gowran last time out. Bluebell Diva is also weighted to have a say on the back of her very good Limerick second.
