Forecasts

Wasthatok (5/2), Lecky Watson (10/3), Instant Tendance (4/1), Icare Desbois (17/2), Dr Eggman (17/2), No Looking Back (12/1), Loughglynn (12/1), Lucky Lyreen (12/1), Mac's Xpress (14/1), Bleu D'enfer (22/1), Ifiwerearichman (33/1), John W Creasy (40/1), Innellan Shore (50/1), Parkrunner (100/1), Matilda Park (150/1), Parlour Of Dreams (200/1)

This has the makings of a quality bumper and it might go the way of INSTANT TENDANCE, who appears to be the choice of Jamie Codd and is, notably, a half-sister to the talented Good Risk At All, who won both starts in bumpers. Dr Eggman is an obvious danger and Lecky Watson shouldn't be taken lightly under Patrick Mullins.
