Forecasts

Brosna Rocco (2/1), Oscer Romero (10/3), Amoret (4/1), Get Phar (13/2), Johanna Yeats (15/2), My Newbrook Rose (9/1), Crack On Corrie (12/1), Swiss Brid (16/1), Carrigeen Lactuca (16/1), Stadius (18/1), Pino Boy (25/1), Caniwillyegiveme (33/1), Thedapperdoyen (40/1), Hill Of Keash (40/1), Nothinbuttime (40/1), You No Me Too Well (50/1)

Having made a successful handicap debut in December, BROSNA ROCCO returned to that level when third a fortnight ago and another bold bid looks on the cards. Oscer Romero was still going well when hampered last time and he is a danger, along with Get Phar.
