Forecasts

Kalmira (2/1), Grappa Nonino (10/3), Elle Dorado Rock (9/2), Rock On Pedro (17/2), Lariat (10/1), Wild Shot (10/1), Five Zeros (14/1), No Hassle (14/1), Nostra Casa (16/1), Dollar Value (20/1), Lissadell (20/1), Lex Maxima (20/1), Jomont (22/1), Mythical Times (25/1), Dixon Line (50/1), Der Mc (50/1), Keep Sharp (66/1)

GRAPPA NONINO has done quite well over hurdles since last seen in this discipline and he's on an appealing mark, so gets the nod ahead of Elle Dorado Rock, who shaped really well at Gowran last time out. Kalmira is the pick of the remainder.
