Forecasts

On My Bike (9/5), Slip Jig (5/1), Grace Faraday (11/2), My Friend The Wind (11/2), Walk In Time (13/2), Juniper Hill (8/1), Forgetthesurprise (8/1), Sammy Smart (11/1), Jacks Fancy (12/1), Balinaboola Steel (14/1), The Lucky Lobster (14/1), Smackwater Jack (16/1), Ask And Answer (25/1), Red Night Sky (50/1), Mighty Momentum (100/1)

Gavin Cromwell's ON MY BIKE could have more to offer on the back of last week's Punchestown success and can go in again off 7 lb higher. Recent Tipperary maiden winner Slip Jig could progress again in handicaps and is second choice ahead of My Friend The Wind. Walk In Time did well last summer and should also have a part to play if fully primed after 9 months off.
