Forecasts

Hi Stranger (8/11), Rocco Bay (9/2), Kalmira (6/1), Fanoir (13/2), Joyful Kit (10/1), Bessy Bradley (28/1), Darraughs Diamond (33/1), Robins Venture (66/1)

HI STRANGER impressed with how readily she went clear when opening her account at Limerick last month, so she's worth a chance to go in again despite the penalty. Fanoir is a big danger on form, while Rocco Bay strikes as a likely improver on the back of a considerate introduction.
