Forecasts

Walk Out (3/1), Goodie Girl (13/2), Pearlofflorida (7/1), No Fussing (8/1), Pour The Wine (8/1), Lizrona (9/1), Where's Bunny (10/1), Walk In Time (10/1), C'est Rien (11/1), Magic Conqueror (12/1), Cathys Quest (12/1), Light Parade (14/1), Jesina (14/1), More Info (16/1), Tango Theatre (16/1), Merry Moves (22/1), In A Nice Way (25/1), Toucan Do (66/1)

WALK OUT can race off the same mark as when a very good Killarney fourth so edges the vote in this competitive handicap. Course-winner No Fussing could emerge as the chief threat to John & Thomas Kiely's handily-weighted rival ahead of Goodie Girl, Pour The Wine and Lizrona.
