Forecasts

Grizabella (5/2), Dynamite Defense (7/2), Gamigin (7/2), Kartayaz (11/2), Rock Basher (9/1), Top Of The Pops (11/1), Together Aclaim (18/1), Magic Charm (22/1), Anjah (25/1), Creative Dancer (25/1), Bambeano (33/1)

GRIZABELLA is given a chance to build on a promising first run for the Paul Flynn yard at Cork a couple of weeks ago. Top of The Pops is respected as a recent last-time-out winner, while Gamigin hasn't run on the Flat for a while but has been in reasonable form over hurdles this spring and Billy Lee has been booked for this return to the level.
