Forecasts

Champagne Classic (11/10), Call The Taxie (9/4), Loughaderra Prince (6/1), Wishmoor (7/1), Freeway Space (8/1), Getaway Kid (16/1), Hows Patsy (20/1), Billy Flight (33/1), Robbina (40/1), Kilganer Queen (66/1), Nicat's Benefit (80/1), Monchengladbach (80/1), Mannin Island (100/1), Queens And Aces (100/1), Whoyakodding (100/1), Fr Captain Murphy (100/1), Our Lady Lucy (100/1), Sapphire West (100/1), Johnny Roebuck (100/1)

Verdict

CHAMPAGNE CLASSIC should get off the mark in this company, he's been making steady progress over timber and can do one better than last month's Fairyhouse second. The third home in that race was Call The Taxie who can go well again but has plenty on to reverse placings. Freeway Space is entitled to get involved on her Limerick run last time out while Wishmoor and Billy Flight are others worthy of consideration for place purposes. 1. Champagne Classic 2. Call The Taxie 3. Freeway Space
