Forecasts

The Truant (4/1), Divilabother (4/1), Belgoprince (11/2), Cloughroe (11/2), True Destiny (17/2), Contrapposto (9/1), Angelsworknovrtime (10/1), Tomas O Maille (12/1), Boxcar Molly (14/1), West Clare (16/1), Milteye (28/1), Splendid Choice (33/1), But What About Me (66/1)

The vote goes to TRUE DESTINY, who should come on for his reappearance spin at Downpatrick where he was making his debut for this yard. He is 2-3 at this course and the drying ground will be in his favour. The Truant put in a good shift on the Flat last time and he looks a big threat, while Divilabother could also have a part to play if building on his improved effort at Down Royal. Cloughroe is also worth a second look.
