Forecasts

Snow Patch (11/4), It's All A Joke (7/2), Khwarizmi (4/1), California Yoohoo (6/1), Ty Rock Brandy (13/2), Downtown Diva (10/1), Extremely (12/1), Miss Margarita (14/1), Forlan (14/1), Clebourne (20/1), Rego Park Lady (20/1), Rachel Ruysch (20/1), Cats Approval (25/1), Camacho Dancer (25/1), Lookitsme (33/1), Let It Go Papa (33/1), Cross Cover (50/1)

IT'S ALL A JOKE can build on his second of nine beaten 7L last time out over 5f at Navan in October. The youngster, who breaks well, can settle in behind Khwarizmi and Downtown Diva, making his move when required to land the prize. Newcomers, Forlan, Clebourne and California Yoohoo look interesting recruits to the AW.
