Forecasts

Choice Of Words (6/5), Broomfield Hall (11/2), Craan Run (13/2), Endless Escape (8/1), Luck Of The Duck (12/1), Ozark Pride (18/1), Optional Mix (20/1), Ebony Wave (22/1), Dads Idea (22/1), Getaway'n'dance (25/1), Templa's Dawn (40/1), Arctic Oscar (40/1), Plan Away (40/1), Steak And Onions (66/1)

Sean Doyle had a ready bumper winner under Jack Hendrick at Down Royal last month so a chance is taken on LUCK OF THE DUCK, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. Craan Run is another likely type among the newcomers, while Choice of Words has been beaten a fair way when reaching the frame in 2 bumpers this year but still merits respect here.
