Forecasts

Dare Stone (11/4), Kinbara (3/1), Nottodaybobo (10/3), Mikita (9/2), Great Schema (13/2), Pride Of Mr E (14/1), Court Cian (16/1), Haitan (18/1), Cullenwaine (25/1), Hurricane Muse (50/1), In The Balance (100/1), Big Job (100/1)

The Clonmel race MIKITA was runner-up in a couple of months ago hasn't worked out too badly so she's perhaps the percentage call, although a strong market move for Gordon Elliott pair Nottodaybobo and/or Great Schema would put a slightly different slant on things. Dare Stone and point recruit Kinbara are other interesting runners and need keeping an eye on in the betting.
