Forecasts

Trasna Na Pairce (10/11), Keep Kool Coko (5/4), Polemon (11/2), Irina's Path (8/1), The Goose's Acre (25/1), Fancy A Tipple (33/1), Berkshire Echo (100/1), My Boy Christy (100/1), Bright Lad (150/1)

Henry de Bromhead's TRASNA NA PAIRCE should have more to offer on the back of an encouraging run at Kilbeggan last month and is narrowly preferred to Keep Kool Coko, who ran so well at the recent Punchestown Festival.
