Forecasts

Jinxs Link (5/1), Buttons And Bows (11/2), Big Island (6/1), Arctic Ambition (6/1), Mephisto (7/1), West Of Carrig (8/1), Craic Eile (9/1), El Champo (10/1), Good World (10/1), Scott Lang (10/1), Cozone (12/1), Lodge Prince (18/1), Free Parking (20/1), Flidais (22/1), Wojood (25/1), Max Time (25/1), Glenabo Bridge (25/1), Frazel Express (28/1), Navy Waves (50/1)

BUTTONS AND BOWS is the suggestion on the back of a good run at Wexford last time. Paul Flynn's Scott Lang appeals as one who can go on to better things in handicaps and is second choice ahead of Wednesday's Sligo third Arctic Ambition.
