Forecasts

Nuttorridge (11/8), Repeat That (9/2), Carlotalin (8/1), Ringhill Lady (8/1), Viking Hoard (9/1), No Logic (10/1), Howyated (10/1), Rocky Stream (12/1), Dasmyhoss (16/1), Milalee (16/1), As The Crow Flies (20/1), Nasee (20/1), Zagnzig (20/1), Lil Codey (33/1), My Peggy (66/1), Kemstar (66/1), Hellenic Fire (80/1), Moyler (125/1)

NUTTORRIDGE looks the way to go here given he can race off the same mark as when an excellent recent second at Ballinrobe in a handicap that is proving good form. Bellewstown winner Repeat That still has few miles on the clock and is feared most now the cheekpieces go back on, with Rocky Stream another low-mileage sort who is worth a second look now he goes into handicaps.
