Form: 6-

Forecasts

Kracka Nut (11/4), Forward Plan (7/2), Cartonne (7/2), Burrow Seven (5/1), Burrows Hall (7/1), Ballymist (14/1), Darsi's Darling (22/1), Call Me Jezza (28/1), Monaghan Boy (40/1), Shantou Boudicca (40/1), Whatsgoingon (66/1), Bayraat (66/1), The Real Rascal (150/1)

Following an easy win in an Irish point, FORWARD PLAN was heavily backed to make a winning start in bumpers at Uttoxeter, only to finish fifth. The application of a tongue tie may help his finishing effort and he's well worth another chance, with Darsi's Darling feared most unless Kracka Nut is supported on debut.
