Forecasts

Readin Tommy Wrong (1/3), Nene River (4/1), Ah Remy Martin (7/1), Miss D Hunter (7/1), Bobsfirth (10/1), Captain Jake (14/1), Manor Royale (20/1), Dark Image (25/1), Annie Questions (25/1), Its Not Over Yet (33/1), Fad Eadrainn (40/1), Lovealot Bear (66/1), Johnny Come Lately (150/1), Theanniversary Man (200/1), Westwind Star (250/1)

READIN TOMMY WRONG showed plenty on his sole outing between the flags and comfortably made a successful start under Rules at Ballinrobe recently, so he's the obvious choice. Point winner Nene River looks the main danger having been acquired by shrewd connections.
