Forecasts

Mount Anglesby (5/4), Pahlavi (11/4), I Am Mimi (10/3), Time For Tea (10/3), Gino Drummer Boy (11/1), Comeragh Diamond (12/1), Mr Globalist (16/1), Lady Nightingale (22/1), Broomfield Gale (25/1), Light Of Life (25/1), Ryoma (25/1), Thats All (33/1), Hanara Rovan (50/1), Hit The Frame (80/1), Mountain Port (150/1), Barney Van Winkle (150/1), Mullanour (150/1), Handy Manny (200/1)

Fair in bumpers, I AM MIMI showed ability when fifth on hurdles debut at Kilbeggan 3 weeks ago and, entitled to improve, he looks to hold good claims of building on that here. Pahlavi and Time For Tea are others fancied to play lead roles.
