Forecasts

Killaloan (11/10), Bertie's Wish (3/1), Mamoon Star (10/3), Prime Time Lady (15/2), Issam (8/1), Paros (16/1)

KILLALOAN is a hurdler on the up for his top yard and the hat-trick has to be a distinct possibility here. Bertie's Wish is far from an easy ride given his exuberance but he's talented and is second choice, ahead of Mamoon Star.
