Forecasts

Not So Simple (5/6), Rock Of Tuskar (10/3), Icee M B A (4/1), Therellalwaysbeone (9/2), Balgowlah (6/1), Swiss Brid (7/1), Daisy's Hollow (10/1), Naturally Blond (16/1), Eversosaucy (20/1), Cooline Bluebell (25/1), Humps And Bumps (28/1), Justakeg (28/1), Giftedtokate (50/1), Lady Maureen (50/1), Fontainbleau (50/1), Repeat That (66/1), Golden Silence (80/1)

NOT SO SIMPLE is clearly in good heart at present and only narrowly failed to make all at Tipperary on Thursday, finishing clear of the rest. He holds obvious claims off the same mark if this doesn't come too soon. Last-time-out winners Rock of Tuskar and Icee M B A head the dangers.
