Forecasts

Tell Nobody Nothin (7/2), Hey Babbs (11/2), Custers Mistake (6/1), Club Manager (6/1), Doctor Confusion (15/2), Miss Maxfort (8/1), You Done Well (9/1), Seeitoldya (10/1), Spring Meadow (14/1), Give Him A Chance (14/1), Eternal Angel (16/1), Colleen Danu (20/1), Silent Selector (22/1), Fast Felix (25/1), Ciao Adios (25/1), Irina's Path (28/1), Never Present (33/1)

It wasn't the deepest of races HEY BABBS won on her handicap debut here recently, but she was still well on top at the finish and is the percentage call to follow up with further improvement on the cards. Custers Mistake only just failed at Downpatrick on his most recent outing and is sure to be on the premises again with a repeat, with Tell Nobody Nothin another potential threat fitted with first-time blinkers based on the promise of his penultimate effort at Cork.
