Forecasts

Preparations (11/4), Solar Drive (10/3), Ragmans Corner (7/2), Ozark Daze (5/1), Out On Friday (13/2), Gotta Catch'em All (8/1), Matt Connor (10/1), Nans View (12/1), Action Plan (18/1)

PREPARATIONS is fit from hurdling (won last month) and should still have some scope from this sort of mark on the Flat. Solar Drive was better than the result back on the Flat at Ballinrobe recently and is second choice ahead of Jack Davison's Ozark Daze.
