Forecasts

Il Silenzio (5/1), Birdsandthebees (13/2), A Nod To Getaway (13/2), Born Bright (7/1), The Little Yank (7/1), West Clare (8/1), Ballagh Star (10/1), Dinoland (10/1), Big Island (11/1), Priory Park (14/1), Karacole (16/1), Ahead Of The Posse (20/1), True Faith (40/1)

Lots with chances but BORN BRIGHT looks to start life in handicaps on a good mark so gets the vote from recent Listowel scorer A Nod To Getaway. Both The Little Yank and Birdsandthebees can also have a say in this competiitive handicap.
