Forecasts

Black Samurai (4/1), My First Symphony (9/2), Hell On Earth (8/1), Kitten Rock (17/2), Makeyourcall (9/1), Dundeedy Lad (10/1), Top Question (12/1), Olive D'Haguenet (12/1), Four Country Roads (14/1), Beeper's Ruby (16/1), Four Courts (20/1), Vic's Little Miss (20/1), Cantkidakidder (20/1), Go All The Way (20/1), Double Windsor (33/1), Loch Luatha (40/1)

BLACK SAMURAI wasn't fully extended to follow up his course win at Wexford last month, so the hat-trick beckons despite a further 9 lb rise in the weights. Hell on Earth and Makeyourcall head the opposition.
