Forecasts

Tingarran Express (11/4), Toon Town (10/3), Bigira (7/2), Trishknowsbest (11/2), Divilabother (15/2), Kate Ill Know (10/1), Glas Acres (10/1), Jassur Des Brosses (11/1), Ardad Derek (12/1), Staging Post (12/1), Renard De Noir (18/1), Mywayorthehighway (22/1), Blackstone Cliff (25/1), Spyfall (25/1), Hollow Spark (50/1), Lacken Run (66/1), Boston Bobby (80/1)

TINGARRAN EXPRESS has just the one win to her name but she ran another solid race when chasing home an unexposed rival at Clonmel 13 days ago (clear of rest) and she looks a sound player once again in this groove. Bigira, Trishknowsbest and Toon Town are others to consider, whilst it's unlikely we've seen the best of Divilabother just yet.
