Forecasts

Agritime (4/6), Keepthefaithinme (3/1), King Kali (11/2), Arturus (11/1), San Paolino (22/1), Country Of Poets (28/1), Kool Kal (33/1), Lady Zuki (50/1), Ballykeeran (66/1), Eyezawinkin (200/1)

Despite failing to justify heavy support, AGRITIME showed plenty to work on when runner-up at Roscommon and with the third-place finisher winning a hurdle next time, there's substance to the form. She will take some stopping, for all Keepthefaithinme ticks a lot of boxes on debut.
