Forecasts

The Real Screamer (5/2), Expound (10/3), Molto Amichi (4/1), Pearl Of Australia (9/2), Bright N Shine (9/2), Eighty Eight (11/2), Church Mountain (14/1), Sylkie (33/1), Mooretown Lad (125/1)

THE REAL SCREAMER is taken to build on his encouraging reappearance at Navan and prove too strong for recent Limerick scorer Church Mountain. Bright N Shine did well on the Flat last autumn and is another to consider.
