11/1

Forecasts

Iron Sword (4/6), Green Style (8/11), Game Shadow (9/4), Distraction (11/1), Pats Charm (11/1), Imboundtosay (25/1), Without Deception (80/1)

GREEN STYLE marked himself down as a useful prospect when scoring in good style at Cork early last month and should prove hard to beat. Iron Sword can give the selection most to think about, ahead of Game Shadow.
