Forecasts

Trust Me Nate (4/6), Skradin (5/6), Conyers Hill (11/2), Robin Flower (6/1), Molly Honey (9/1), Coco Kolada (11/1), Macanogue (16/1), Criminal Mischief (18/1), Thunder (20/1), Kilmacurkin (22/1), Manwal (28/1), Kingsofthemidlands (125/1)

TRUST ME NATE sets a clear standard so should prove hard to beat back down in trip. Skradin shaped with some promise sent hurdling when fifth in a C&D maiden last month and looks the one to give the selection most to think about.
