Forecasts

Wa Wa (10/11), I Am Spider Man (5/1), Hard Rain (11/2), Hockworthy Flyer (11/1), Mrs Paisley (14/1), Rossies Tara (14/1), Tullyhogue Fort (16/1), Huit Reflets (16/1), Let Her Flow (16/1), Zagnzig (16/1), Fox Le Bel (20/1), Iluvyounow (33/1), I Must (33/1), True Destiny (40/1), Wild As Fire (50/1), Greenandwhitearmy (50/1), Any Day Now (66/1), Forever On Fire (80/1)

WA WA made a fine return at Gowran and seems sure to go close if building on that. I Am Spider Man can go well again after scoring at Sedgefield, while Zagnzig has been back in good heart over fences and is interesting.
