Forecasts

The Electrical Kid (8/13), Interieur Cuir (4/1), Binge Worthy (5/1), Secrecies Of Stone (5/1), Summer Melody (5/1), Grivei (25/1), Glendine Billy (33/1), But What About Me (33/1), Shuil Na Tra (33/1), King Kali (50/1), John The Diva (50/1), Our Boy Rocky (66/1), Only A Dollar (80/1), Pirate Island (125/1), Whateys Quest (150/1), Restless Lady (150/1), Red Coral House (200/1), Flickering Ellie (250/1), Sister Emmanuel (250/1)

THE ELECTRICAL KID failed to justify strong support when third at Clonmel on debut though he's entitled to do better with that under his belt so gets the vote in what looks an ordinary maiden. Interieur Cuir is an interesting newcomer for top connections, while Secrecies of Stone is the pick on form.
