Forecasts

Kilmurry Jj (7/2), Ocean Legacy (7/2), Steps Match (4/1), Mastermind (15/2), He Ain't Heavy (8/1), Fill The Tank (9/1), Stowaway Lass (12/1), Delias Pet (14/1), Rebel Ruler (16/1), Mine Me Will He (16/1), Brownstone (16/1), Complete Fantasy (16/1), The Deecoy (18/1), Somethingaboutcian (18/1), Asatisfiedmind (20/1), Church Lane (25/1), Man After Midnight (50/1), Mrs Macker (66/1), Coppercoast Paudie (100/1)

This is an incredibly thin race and KILMURRY JJ comfortably makes the most appeal on account of the fact that he's the only one that arrives on the back of a good effort. Ocean Legacy and Steps Match could also feature.
