Forecasts

Flying Visit (4/7), Cold Steel (5/1), Louisville (7/1), Mister Hitchcock (9/1), True Conviction (11/1), Vivian Grey (11/1), Kalu Pande (12/1), Pita Pinta (16/1), Dha Leath (33/1), The Garda Chase (33/1)

FLYING VISIT is easily the most experienced in here and can put that to good use to finally get off the mark for Jim Bolger. There should be more to come from True Conviction, who rates as the main threat on paper after showing more when seventh at Fairyhouse last time, ahead of Jessica Harrington's Cold Steel.
