Forecasts

Bonnie Kellie (5/2), Cahirdown Boy (10/3), The Eye Of Tulla (11/2), Made In The Woods (8/1), Sunnyvilla (11/1), Courting Vickie (11/1), Johanna Yeats (16/1), Stormey (18/1), Fly De Megaudais (20/1), Carnet De Stage (20/1), Itsalonglongroad (25/1), Sound Money (40/1)

BONNIE KELLIE very nearly capitalised on her lower chasing mark at Tramore 3 weeks ago so must be of interest. The Eye of Tulla and Cahirdown Boy are also considered.
