Forecasts

Persian Lion (3/1), Small Bit Of Love (4/1), Grand Partner (9/2), Eight Till Late (8/1), Tarazani (8/1), Minnie Dahill (10/1), Landsman (10/1), Cassells Rock (11/1), Hurricane Sky (14/1), Hernandoshideaway (25/1), Mandamus (25/1), My Direction (33/1)

Small Bit of Love can't be ruled out having made the breakthrough at Ballinrobe, especially given her trainer, and last year's winner Cassells Rock is also of interest with blinkers fitted, but they could both struggle to contain three-year-old PERSIAN LION if that one can show any improvement for the step up in trip, his form in maidens looking pretty solid.
