Forecasts

Hammersmith (5/6), Annie Pender (11/4), Wojood (4/1), Kapard (9/2), Gevrey (6/1), Miss Oriental (12/1), Land Jet (16/1), Back On The Bridle (18/1), Puerto Banus (20/1), Rock Of Tuskar (20/1), Galypso Clermont (20/1), Mutual Respect (20/1), Lady Federici (40/1), The Blame Man (50/1), Nearly Home (100/1), Union Park (100/1), Comeback Tiep (100/1), Pick On Me (125/1), Tangental (150/1)

HAMMERSMITH bounced back to his best when runner-up at Wexford 3 weeks ago, and this looks a good opportunity to go one better. Kapard is bred for the job, so it will be interesting to see how she holds up in the betting, while Wojood is entitled to build on his debut third at Clonmel.
