Forecasts

Laser Focus (5/2), Silver Gazette (10/3), Happy Victory (4/1), Hollys Honour (11/2), Cheerful Chap (12/1), First Dare (16/1), Drumderry Harlem (18/1), I Am Bella (18/1), Flyaway Maggie (22/1), Johnny Clarke (33/1), Saved By The River (33/1), Duhallow Rainbow (50/1), Cherisheverymoment (66/1), Nights Of Doyen (80/1)

Not a strong novice and in the hope LASER FOCUS cuts out the errors this time, he is awarded the tentative vote. Silver Gazette sets the standard on his debut fourth at Ballinrobe, with Happy Victory another to consider.
