Forecasts

Offiah (9/4), Mcpherson (5/2), Bamboo Bay (10/3), Exuma (7/2), Lord Luker (4/1), Santa Florentina (18/1), Cormac (22/1), Barney Rubbles (33/1), Krypton Gold (40/1), Celestial Horizon (40/1), Kush (40/1), Classy Choice (50/1), Latin Fury (50/1), Chambery Prince (100/1), Risky Pursuit (150/1), Punchy Fly (150/1), Lady Barrington (200/1), Numidia (250/1), La Bella Viva (250/1)

A case of quantity over quality here, with OFFIAH taken to shed the maiden tag at the fourth time of asking having done his best work late over a barely adequate trip on reappearance at Cork last month. Mpherson is not yet the finished article and he's feared most if putting a slightly disappointing return behind him, ahead of Exuma and Lord Luker.
