Forecasts

Mrs Grimley (4/1), All Walks Of Life (5/1), Florance (13/2), Western Comandor (7/1), Clandara (8/1), Up And Out (17/2), Rare Dream (17/2), Make The Plan (9/1), Devils Cape (10/1), Hansard (11/1), Innocent Walker (16/1), But I Wont Do That (22/1), Storm Barra (66/1)

UP AND OUT has switched to Gordon Elliott's yard since her Newbury debut in December so it might be worth siding with her to improve past Jessie Harrington's Mrs Grimley, who shaped nicely at Thurles last month. Western Comandor, the mount of Patrick Mullins, and Rare Dream are a couple of newcomers to note in the betting.
