Forecasts

Our Lil (5/4), Sheen Falls Time (4/1), Solar Drive (9/2), Fine Print (7/1), Billie Frechette (17/2), Tyder (12/1), Jlow (14/1), Nosey Anna (25/1), Vittorio Micheli (66/1), Dark Blue Diamond (66/1), Liamo (100/1)

SOLAR DRIVE would have gone very close had he not lost momentum at a crucial stage at Ballinrobe last month and is fancied to make amends off the same mark. Our Lil made a promising start for this yard when second at Killarney and rates the main threat ahead of Fine Print.
