Forecasts

Henn See (6/4), Karuma Grey (3/1), The King Of Prs (10/3), El Champo (6/1), Irish Blaze (15/2), Jackpot De Choisel (8/1), Deployed (40/1)

There was only a length between THE KING OF PRS and Henn See at Wexford last month and, on the same terms, if should again be close between them. Gavin Cromwell's charge looks progressive and he is taken to emerge on top again, and complete the hat-trick in the process. Karuma Grey could be the one to pick up minor honours.
