Forecasts

Ciankyle (9/2), Susie Miller (6/1), Hockworthy Flyer (6/1), Jenny Flex (6/1), Beechroad Winnie (13/2), Nuttorridge (8/1), Westernerona (11/1), Perfect Arch (11/1), Punk Rock Girl (12/1), Kanors Girl (14/1), Outdoor Mozzy (14/1), Military Hill (18/1), Light Heidi (20/1), Bessy Bradley (20/1), Our Jervis (25/1), Ballymagee (25/1), Zagnzig (66/1), Getaway Molly (80/1)

CIANKYLE can boast a course win and is only 1 lb higher than when a good recent Ballinrobe second so gets the vote in an open handicap. Beechroad Winnie is weighted to go well and next on the list, with both Perfect Arch and Susie Miller in the mix too.
