Forecasts

Marhaba Ashmayme (6/5), Tawny Coster (9/4), The Vik (7/1), Erbacher (10/1), Portville (14/1), Narlita (16/1), Secret Rock (25/1), Blackberry Jack (33/1), Uisce (40/1), Clever Capall (50/1), Tullyhogue Fort (100/1), Circus Act (125/1), Cablegram (150/1), Clashbeg Star (200/1)

TAWNY COSTER has had a few chances now but a repeat of the form she showed when second at Listowel last time might be good enough to see her get off the mark. Marhaba Ashmayme rates an obvious danger, particularly if headgear gives him a bit extra, while The Vik showed clear ability on his debut last summer and rates a possible improver on his return.
