Forecasts

Light Brigade (11/10), Hardwired (3/1), Centurion Steel (16/5), Toor Hawk (13/2), Fill The Tank (13/2), Tango Theatre (10/1), Defan (18/1), The Cool Dude (20/1), Upourdat (40/1), Hammer To Fall (50/1), Drop Him In (66/1), Boss Girl (66/1), Ballyrihy Lad (66/1), Genie Makker (125/1), It's All Mercy (250/1), Mooresfort Lady (250/1), Full Noise (250/1)

Lots of these are hard to fancy so HARDWIRED looks to have found a very good opportunity to open his account after posting a fine third at Wexford last time. Hurdling newcomer Light Brigade rates a big threat if translating his fairly useful bumper form to this code, while Centurion Steel appeals as the pick of the remainder and a solid place prospect.
