Forecasts

My Good Pal (7/2), Miss Lia (11/2), Bella Union (6/1), Stone Forest (13/2), Fear The Deere (13/2), Kilkee Bay (7/1), Kalaroun (9/1), Hard Target (12/1), Dunany Point (14/1), Kazbek (20/1), Sea The Sunset (22/1), Duncarrig (25/1), Fireworks (33/1), Younowhatimean (40/1), Boston Bongo (40/1), Notevenatext (50/1), Gekkota (66/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but STONE FOREST can race off the same mark as when an excellent third in a big-field handicap at Bellewstown last time out so earns the vote. Fear The Deere is feared most on the back of a good recent second here, although Kalaroun figures on an attractive mark if on song. Bella Union completes the shortlist.
