Forecasts

It's For Me (4/9), Ballystone (11/2), Criminal Mischief (11/2), My Trump Card (11/2), Calazure (11/1), Run For Harry (14/1), Suttons Hill (20/1), That's About Right (33/1), Knocknaconnery (50/1), Skradin (66/1), Comeonarchie (100/1), Ballycottonjacksie (150/1)

IT'S FOR ME has been picked up by top connections since landing a point and he's preferred to his stablemate Criminal Mischief. My Trump Card, who started well in a novice hurdle at this course, looks the pick of the remainder.
