Forecasts

Workforadime (3/1), Goodie Girl (4/1), Folly Beach (7/1), Cougar (8/1), Whatsavailable (10/1), Arabian King (10/1), Warmer Days Ahead (12/1), Lightkeeper (12/1), Fathom Two (12/1), Rodney Bay (20/1), Notkeepinyagoing (22/1), Quite Incredible (25/1), A Year Older (33/1), Mon Storm (100/1)

Lots with chances but FOLLY BEACH has gone with some promise of late and is able to race off the same mark as when fourth in a big-field Punchestown handicap last time out so gets the vote. Workforadime should benefit from this step up in trip and heads the list of dangers, with Warmer Days Ahead, Goodie Girl and Arabian King all in the picture too.
