Forecasts

Coulstys Way (7/4), Movin And Groovin (4/1), Let Her Cook (5/1), Academe (6/1), Vovatia (13/2), Highway Sixty One (8/1), Wasittheway (12/1), Curroy Lady (14/1), Rushes To Riches (28/1), Bungle Lichious (66/1)

COULSTYS WAY looked suited by the step up to this sort of trip when third on her Tipperary reappearance and is given a chance to confirm that promise. Highway Sixty One and Movin and Groovin weren't too far behind the selection in that same Tipperary contest and may provide the main opposition.
