Forecasts

Rubies Are Red (6/4), Sulaiyma (10/3), Radar Ahead (9/2), Cast A Spell (11/2), Saol Gaelach (7/1), Kisiyra (8/1), Dark Oak (25/1), Decorated Elle (200/1)

RADAR AHEAD caught the eye after a slow start when third in a maiden at Ballinrobe 78 days ago and she may be able to improve enough to get the better of Rubies Are Red, who just about sets the standard at the weights. Sulaiyma is a notable newcomer.
