Forecasts

Casey West (7/4), Dromleigh (9/2), Ringcraft (9/2), Miners Bridge (5/1), Boss Robin (9/1), Nibbles (11/1), Ask Mike (12/1), Pulse Of Camelot (33/1), Sampoet (33/1), Keep Me Posted (40/1), Electric Dreamer (50/1), Stormy Story (80/1), Enoughofthat (200/1)

Verdict

The suggestion is Gordon Elliott's RINGCRAFT, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. The strong-travelling Dromleigh may benefit from this slightly shorter trip and can turn around recent Limerick form with Casey West and Boss Robin and provide the chief threat. Sam Curling point winner Miners Bridge is another interesting contender under Derek O'Connor.
