Forecasts

Catch The Paddy (3/1), Shoot To Kill (18/5), Clonmacash (4/1), Comfort Line (6/1), Prince Of Eyeries (7/1), Imperial Fighter (8/1), Proleek Prince (9/1), Kwa Herini (28/1), El Bello (50/1)

KWA HERIN left the impression that she is starting to get the hang of things when fourth in a 13-runner maiden on debut here last month and, with improvement likely now pitched into a handicap, she could be the answer. Next on the list is Comfort Line, who has been knocking on the door pretty loudly, while Prince of Eyeries is another with appealing claims.
