Forecasts

Oskar High (2/1), No Logic (11/4), Well Joey (4/1), Orcadian Symphony (11/2), Dundeedy Lad (13/2), A Different World (7/1), Farrawaybay (9/1), Royal Presenting (16/1), Hopefully (18/1), Sienne D'or (22/1), Tribelle (28/1), Mutual Respect (33/1), Do No More (33/1), Baby Bellini (50/1), Atalanta's Gold (50/1), Headline Joe (50/1), Gone Galavanting (66/1), Bader (80/1)

OSKAR HIGH took full advantage of a fall in the weights when scoring in good style at Sligo last month and can go in again despite being upped 7 lb for that victory. Orcadian Symphony looks the one to give him most to do now he goes into handicap company, with Hopefully another who is weighted to have a say if bringing her A-game.
