Forecasts

Newfoundland (7/2), Star Kissed (4/1), Black Hawk Eagle (5/1), The Very Man (13/2), Morph Speed (10/1), Mellow Magic (10/1), Golden Twilight (11/1), Rich Belief (12/1), Mr Rango (14/1), Phoenix Cowboy (16/1), Kingswear (18/1), Zanndabad (25/1), Almuhit (25/1), Snapius (28/1), Last Ammo (28/1), Ted Hastings (28/1), Sheishybrid (33/1), Dame Rapide (40/1), Bradesco (80/1), Kingsofthemidlands (100/1), Bold Approach (100/1)

STAR KISSED appears to have been handed a fair mark for this handicap bow and she gets the nod. Conditions were testing when she opened her account in a Bellewstown maiden on return last month but it was on good ground that this Sea The Stars filly went close on debut at Cork last summer, so the surface here shouldn't be an issue. Newfoundland is entitled to come on for his Tipperary reappearance spin and is feared most. The Very Man, a good second over hurdles last time, also has claims.
