Forecasts

Bal Kauto (7/4), Londonofficecallin (10/3), Corkbeg (13/2), Roman Parish (10/1), Roccorionach (11/1), Toon Town (12/1), Susie Miller (14/1), Brehon Star (18/1), Kilmurry Jj (22/1), In A Nice Way (22/1), Ramble On Muller (25/1), Lodge Prince (25/1), Dromore Warrior (25/1), Flyaway Maggie (33/1), Portarlington (33/1), Millies Dream (40/1), Macs Lady (66/1), One More Lass (66/1), Abu Hazem (66/1), My Little Lily (100/1)

Lots with chances but BAL KAUTO made an eye-catching start for Declan Queally when a running-on sixth at Tramore and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now. Toon Town is feared most on the back of his good recent second here, while Wexford-scorer Corkbeg can also have a say along with the unexposed Millies Dream.
