Forecasts

Lynchy Boy (11/8), Late Vocation (11/4), Mr Dibbs (4/1), Fire Force (8/1), Nakassama (14/1), Ad Caelum (22/1), Rodney (22/1), Klassman (33/1), Nelson's Lady (33/1), The Rebel County (40/1), Cailin Aibrean (40/1), Mr Chester (40/1), Island Mccoo (50/1), Big Tom (50/1), Barney Van Winkle (50/1), Nawraq (66/1), Hestheboycandoit (100/1), She's No Fool (150/1), Dragonalka (200/1)

LATE VOCATION bounced back to form at Tipperary last month and will be suited by the step back up in trip here. She can open her account. Lynchy Boy look the obvious danger on form, whilst Fire Force has acquitted herself well in points this year and warrants respect on her debut under Rules.
