Forecasts

Aodhan May (3/1), Fox Le Bel (7/2), Finnians Row (11/2), Legacy Of Dreams (8/1), A Cheap Thrill (9/1), Ben Vrackie (12/1), Coolcullen (14/1), Ennemi Public (14/1), Fons Vivus (14/1), Four Country Roads (14/1), Killisk Ben Rose (18/1)

FOX LE BEL shaped quite well at Clonmel last time and perhaps this can be the day he finally gets off the mark. Aodhan May can have a line put through her run here last time and rates an obvious threat on her Down Royal second prior to that. The shortlist is completed by Finnians Row who ran well for fourth over a shorter trip here last time.
