Forecasts

Barrogstown Girl (11/4), Tassarolo (3/1), Louiescall (3/1), Rock Of Ireland (11/2), Gallo Dell Cielo (6/1), Slieve Bearnagh (6/1), Eastern Wind (10/1), Captain Hanley (16/1), Ms Messi (25/1), Share The Treasure (33/1), Takarengo (40/1), Stabila (66/1), Liss Eile (66/1)

A deserved success beckons for SLIEVE BEARNAGH, who went close for the second time this season when beaten a neck by the re-opposing Tassarolo at Killarney and this 8-y-o is versatile ground-wise, so the forecast quicker surface here won't be an issue for him. Tassarolo has since misfired at Galway and is opposable on the back of that display, which leaves Gallo Dell Cielo and Rock of Ireland as the main dangers. Barrogstown Girl is also worth a second look.
