Forecasts

Hattie Amarin (9/4), Hammersmith (10/3), Fancy Red Diamond (9/1), Forge Road (9/1), Star Of Burma (11/1), Mythical Times (11/1), Nusra (12/1), Enquire Within (14/1), Breffni Girl (20/1), Lusis Naturea (22/1), Aunty Audrey (28/1), Enchanted One (100/1), Border Battle (100/1), Queen Of Oriel (200/1)

HAMMERSMITH is hardly a winning machine, but the same is true of his 13 rivals and he is appealing on the back of a solid effort off this mark at Dundalk last week. Forge Road put in a good shift at the same course recently and she will be a threat if able to build on that back on turf. Hattie Amarin hit the target when last seen eight months ago and she is also accorded respect, along with Lusis Naturea.
