Forecasts

King Thistle (5/2), Wizard Of Odds (3/1), Heishybrid (10/3), Pompano Beach (9/2), Devine Genius (7/1), Coulstys Way (22/1), Pure Granite (33/1), Rumba Bay (50/1)

There should be more to come from HEISHYBRID on the back of his recent Bellewstown second and he can go one better now. The step up to 7f should suit Wizard of Odds who is second choice ahead of Johnny Murtagh's King Thistle.
