Forecasts

The Yellow Clay (2/1), Sattam (9/4), Balally Park (3/1), Base Of Fire (10/3), Iceberg Theory (5/1), Montys Rock (12/1), Itwasntmeanttobeme (66/1), Miss Gherkin (80/1)

SATTAM shaped better than the bare result when fourth at Naas on debut 8 weeks ago and can put that experience to effective use. The Yellow Clay and Balally Park make most appeal out of the newcomers.
