Forecasts

Rochestown (7/4), Robindevidastar (7/2), Ivane (9/2), Mini Getaway (13/2), Doyen For A Drink (7/1), C'est Rien (7/1), Blue In The West (12/1), Kiln Time (12/1), Meadow Soprano (14/1), Native Song (16/1), Cruisin Susan (18/1), Realtin Lonrach (18/1), Fancy Prospect (22/1), Fire Force (28/1), Another Question (33/1), Weir Lane (33/1), Dunany Point (40/1), Cresthill (50/1), Only You Norah (80/1)

The vote goes to ROCHESTOWN, who went like the best horse at the weights before giving way in the closing stages on return from a seven months in November. He is entitled to come on for that run and makes plenty of appeal off just a 1 lb higher mark. Robindevidastar and Mini Getaway should both be in the mix, while Fire Force is of interest on her handicap debut and Doyen For A Drink will be a danger to all if making the cut.
