Forecasts

Never Shout Never (7/2), Sporting Hero (7/2), Make Clear (7/2), Court Phoenix (11/2), Dream Today (17/2), Inishmot Prince (10/1), The Poacher Daly (12/1), Hero Of The Hour (14/1), Mint Man (22/1), Samrogue (22/1), Revenite (28/1)

SPORTING HERO won in good style when making it 2 from 3 in the hands of this claimer here last week and remains of interest. Inishmot Prince is potentially on a good mark so is next best ahead of Court Phoenix, who showed good speed to win his maiden.
