Forecasts

Rattle And Hum (4/1), Village Voice (11/2), Shangrilama (11/2), Ard Mhacha (6/1), Quick Blessing (6/1), Catwalk Couture (6/1), Timely Boost (7/1), Game Eagle (10/1), Pulse Light (14/1), Moonlit Mist (16/1), Swinging Sixties (22/1), The Winker (22/1), St Faz (33/1), Samhradh (100/1)

Tricky stuff and one of the newcomers could prove good enough, perhaps TIMELY BOOST, who hails from a yard who have had a few shape well recently. Village Voice is interesting for Jessica Harrington, with Quick Blessing and Shangrilama a couple of the more appealing ones with experience.
