Forecasts

In The Trenches (10/11), Hasten Slowly (7/2), Dumb Love (13/2), To The Wire (8/1), Our Haybob (10/1), South Of Killerig (12/1), Game Eagle (16/1), Oh So Charming (20/1), Dr Pep (20/1), Boston Gent (20/1), Lucky Manifest (25/1), Jazz Forever (33/1), Scotcantou (50/1), Newport (50/1), Jack Booner (50/1), Hope No Risk (80/1), Morell River (125/1), Fool's Errand (150/1)

IN THE TRENCHES has been consistent rather than progressive over hurdles but he sets the standard on his best form so is worth another chance to get it right. Hasten Slowly is feared most unless there's confidence behind newcomer Boston Gent.
