Forecasts

Buachaillbocht (11/8), Kiln Time (3/1), Blossom De Mai (6/1), Mick Charlie (7/1), What An Ocean (9/1), Kilbarry Saint (10/1), Cruisin Susan (16/1), Toor Moon (20/1), Party Pack (20/1), Walk In The Stars (25/1), Vintage Gold (33/1), Therailwayman (80/1)

KILN TIME wasted no time getting back on track when just failing at Fairyhouse and can resume winning ways at the main expense of Buachaillbocht, who showed big improvement when beating the selection by ¾ length on handicap bow here 5 weeks ago but is now 6 lb worse off with Kiln Time. What An Ocean is best of the others.
