Forecasts

Icare Desbois (6/4), Union Station (15/8), Omniscient (9/4), Fortunate Lighting (11/4), Whatsanotheryear (14/1), Zulu Mike (16/1), A Year Older (33/1), Minella Buddy (40/1), Let's Avit (40/1), Hardysonofdan (50/1), Kinbara Hills (50/1), Duchamps Art (50/1), Lispendense (66/1), Sadies Diamond (66/1), Flier (80/1), Chance Another One (100/1), The Mpex Kid (100/1), Locorotondo (100/1), Dont Tell Shirley (125/1), Market House (150/1), Nelsoria (150/1), Shades Of Tara (200/1), Balovale (200/1)

OMNISCIENT was useful on the Flat and, while his hurdling debut was a little underwhelming, he's worth a chance to open his account with improvement anticipated. Icare Desbois is an obvious player if back on his game and Fortunate Lightning is an interesting hurdling debutant.
