Forecasts

It's Time Again (11/4), Lar's Lass (4/1), Captain Jimmy (9/2), Carrig Carol (11/2), Mac's Xpress (7/1), Junot (7/1), Kilashee (12/1), Scottish Dancer (16/1), Whatyouwant (20/1), Ask Cillian (20/1), Glenabbey (22/1), But What About Me (33/1), City Limits (50/1), Pettigo (66/1)

IT'S TIME AGAIN was third to Captain Jimmy at this course last time but that was on the back of an absence so, with a run behind her, she's fancied to turn the tables on that rival in a race that the pair may dominate. Mac's Xpress is also worthy of respect.
