Forecasts

Walk On The Moone (4/5), The Grey Monty (2/1), The Banger Doyle (10/3), Cruisin Susan (11/2), Anyonecanhaveitall (8/1), Kilmurry Jj (12/1), Hand Over Fist (14/1), Who's Houdini (16/1), Haitan (16/1), Little Nan (40/1), Ballinaboola Tiger (50/1), Crabtrees Rebel (50/1), Rajjnatin (125/1), Darling Valentine (150/1), Larkfield Looney (150/1)

In a race lacking depth another chance is given to WALK ON THE MOONE as something presumably can't have been right at Kilbeggan last month and she's very much the one to beat judged on her 2 runs in the spring. The Grey Monty has been placed on her last 2 outings and is the obvious one to follow the selection home. Hand Over Fist hails from a powerful yard and can step up on his debut run and prove best of the remainder.
