Forecasts

Warm In Gorey (7/2), Dontlettheoldmanin (4/1), Moulane West (9/2), Musta Lovea Lovea (5/1), Trishknowsbest (5/1), Don't Talk (11/1), Kashi (12/1), Coolnacritta (16/1), Curious Bride (28/1), Ricky Langford (40/1), Always Giving (80/1)

WARM IN GOREY improved when runner-up at Clonmel on handicap debut and another step forward would be enough for him to open his account. Trsihknowbest is an obvious danger and Dontlettheoldmanin is open to improvement now switched to handicaps.
