Forecasts

Brooklyn Balance (7/2), Mater Matuta (9/2), Jack Holiday (5/1), Doyouthinkso (11/2), Lyla Garrity (11/2), Fair Minded (17/2), Kings Halo (11/1), Gaelic Des Chastys (12/1), Jazz Ranger (16/1), Clear The Clouds (18/1), Doyen Rose (18/1), Kilashee (18/1), Kayla's Delight (33/1), Danegeld (33/1), Ballard Prince (80/1)

The interesting one here is JACK HOLIDAY, who looked set to finish placed but for a late fall at Killarney 11 days ago and has an attractive hurdles mark to exploit. Brooklyn Balance and Mater Matuta head the opposition.
