Forecasts

Herring Island (7/2), Harry's Legacy (4/1), Dame Rapide (13/2), Lunar Power (7/1), Away To Sea (8/1), La Hacienda (11/1), Insane Bolt (12/1), Master Of Reality (14/1), Nibiru (14/1), Lord Erskine (14/1), Mctigue (16/1), Cozone (16/1), The Names Jock (16/1), Taipan (20/1), No Thanks (25/1), Enthrallment (25/1), Classic Lord (28/1), Wild Dollar (50/1)

Verdict

AWAY TO SEA caught the eye when staying on from an unpromising position at Galway last month and gets the nod. The progressive Herring Island looks the obvious danger, whilst La Hacienda is also respected.
