Forecasts

Baba Buck's (7/4), Hunters Yarn (11/4), Hemlock (11/4), Hasty Brook (7/2), Champagne Glory (5/1), Habeas Corpus (10/1), Agape (12/1), Happy Victory (12/1), Miranda Priestly (20/1), Noble Birth (33/1), Roaring Potter (33/1), Forever Frankie (40/1), Conkerall (50/1), Denver Canning (66/1), Shirocco's Delight (80/1), Laurel Park (80/1), Maureen's Quest (80/1), The Niffler (100/1), Lurgoe (250/1)

Having attracted significant support, HUNTERS YARN offered plenty to work on when third at Naas a month ago despite not being seen to best effect. A tongue tie is quickly applied and he has a bigger performance in him. Newcomers Hemlock and Habeas Corpus may give him most to think about.
