Forecasts

Runcok (7/4), Fortunate Lighting (4/1), Quantum Leap (11/2), Grey Pharoh (13/2), Lambay Island (8/1), Spread Your Wings (14/1), Auntie Lacey (14/1), Jazzy Rock (20/1), High Court Cave (20/1), Pension Plan (20/1), Found Beau (20/1), Nukie's Artic (25/1), Journey So Far (25/1), Way Down We Go (25/1), Welcome Aboard (25/1), Mooretown Lad (33/1), Summer Is Here (33/1), Klap (33/1), Patty O'Farrell (33/1)

Verdict

Bumper winner FORTUNATE LIGHTING showed plenty in a Tipperary novice that worked out well on her hurdles debut back in April and could make a successful return. Runcok and Grey Pharoh are respected starting out in this sphere for top yards, while Spread Your Wings can do better again.
