Forecasts

Parnell Street (2/5), Bells Grove (4/1), Hopeful Hero (5/1), Rebel Cry (7/1), Max Goodwin (14/1), Maxicourt (28/1), Red George (40/1), Mighty Rosa (50/1)

This looks a bit less competitive than the big-field bumper PARNELL STREET contested at the Galway Festival and he's preferred to Hopeful Hero. Jessica Harrington newcomer Rebel Cry would bed a potential threat to all if the betting speaks in his favour.
