Forecasts

Run For Harry (3/1), Bigira (6/1), Betty Dutton (13/2), Flidais (8/1), Dylan Oak (8/1), Master Player (10/1), Someone's Wish (10/1), Only One Plan (10/1), San Aer (11/1), Imadpour (11/1), Saynothinatall (14/1), Burren Song (14/1), Sayitfirst (16/1), Splendid Choice (25/1), Action Motion (33/1), Swelltime (40/1), Mattie's Mountain (40/1)

RUN FOR HARRY arrives on the back of good placed efforts at Naas and Bellewstown this spring and won't need to pull out much more for first-time cheekpieces. Saynothinatall appeals as one who could have more to come in handicaps and is next on the list. Master Player hasn't been seen since winning a Bangor maiden just under a year ago but still appeals as one who could have more to offer, a comment which also applies to San Aer now faced with a sharp 2m for the first time over hurdles.
