Forecasts

Westy Fox (10/3), Hilltop Supreme (7/2), Damut (7/2), Doldido (6/1), Added Bonus (17/2), Quarry Girl (11/1), Crack On Corrie (12/1), Montys Meadow (12/1), Klickity Klopp (40/1), Natural Breeze (50/1)

WESTY FOX improved again when second in a big-field Navan handicap 16 days ago and, with further progress entirely possible given his low mileage, he gets the nod ahead in this competitive contest. Damut was a solid third off this mark at Thurles recently and is second choice ahead of Doldido, who has slipped to a potentially handy mark. Hilltop Supreme and Crack On Corrie are others to consider.
