Forecasts

Brookie (10/11), Alpesh Amin (6/4), Walk With Paul (8/1), Indulging (18/1), Sixhandsinmypocket (25/1), Any Alibis (25/1), Mahlers Cove (33/1), Skin In The Game (50/1), Dromhale Vita (50/1), Leontine (50/1), Tea It Is (66/1), Coole Vision (66/1), Lockdown Daisy (66/1), Joe's Joy (100/1), Gracefromnaas (200/1)

Not a strong-looking maiden and ALPESH AMIN looks well placed to open his account after a good third in a stronger event here 4 weeks ago. Walk With Paul is an interesting newcomer, while Brookie would have obvious claims if getting a run.
