Forecasts

Miss Yvonne (7/4), Portmagee (11/4), Portreath (3/1), Fratas (4/1), Game Eagle (9/2), Navy Beach (11/2), Miss Langmore (9/1), Aurum Sky (12/1), So Messi (16/1), Captain John Barry (16/1), Cloughaneely Mor (100/1)

NAVY BEACH took a step forward when runner-up at Down Royal on Saturday and there's likely more to come if he's not undone by the quick turnaround, so he's preferred to in-form pair Miss Yvonne and Portreath.
