Forecasts

Lazer Wolf (7/4), Silver King (11/4), The Other Mozzie (9/2), Aslukwoodhavit (13/2), Hurricane Cliff (12/1), Embittered (12/1), Kilashee (14/1), The Dara Man (16/1), Handsworth (18/1)

LAZER WOLF proved a different proposition switched to handicap company when scoring in good style at Clonmel last month and looks one to follow. His stablemate The Other Mozzie is next best ahead of Aslukwoodhavit, who has a good record fresh.
