Forecasts

Youghal By The Sea (4/5), Kildorrery (7/2), Keepinupwitdjones (10/1), Backstairs Bounder (12/1), Waky Flyer (12/1), James Eclipse (16/1), Robin On The Hill (16/1), Who's For Tea (20/1), Mohart (25/1), Kinnagoe Boy (33/1), Leannes Lady (33/1), Alfred Eile (33/1), Hawthorn Echo (33/1)

Not a lot of talent on show here, which could turn out well for the Gordon Elliott-trained, YOUGHAL BY THE SEA, who should have too much for this field. Each way backers should be looking at the likes of Kildorrery, Waky Flyer and one I particularly like, Who's For Tea.
