Forecasts

Carlo Bianconi (6/4), Neptunes Staircase (13/8), Johanna Whitty (11/2), Away To Sea (12/1), Firebrand (14/1), Cut The Rope (18/1), Metamorpheus (22/1), Zazir (50/1), Ages Of Man (66/1), Spanish John (100/1), Big Smoke (150/1), Crazy Warrior (150/1), Boxing Hero (150/1)

CARLO BIANCONI went close on both his starts in maidens, including on his comeback at Dundalk 12 weeks ago, and can find the required improvement to beat Away To The Sea, who often runs in handicaps. Neptunes Staircase and Johanna Whitty are best of the others.
