Forecasts

Bilko (8/15), Some Drama (9/4), Fenlon's Hill (5/1), Golden Plan (10/1), Theturnofthesun (20/1)

Verdict

Bilko is entitled to fairly strong claims given he was in the mix for a valuable prize at Listowel last time before coming to grief. He is greatly respected in this line-up but that was a hefty fall and, with just over a fortnight to recover and a likely odds-on price, there may not be great value in supporting him now. FENLON'S HILL has been running mostly solid races of late and having scored at Galway last week can go well again with a 4lb rise to defy. Similarly, Some Drama hovers around in races like this and has to be given a chance in what is not a strong contest.
