Forecasts

Reiki Revolution (5/4), Empire Succes (15/8), Times A Wastin (10/1), Coup D'etat (11/1), Corbally Cross (14/1), Victor Sweet (16/1), Paudie's Wings (16/1), Kadys Dirha (20/1), Plomeur (25/1), Courtbrack Boy (25/1), Coillte M C G (40/1), Itsallinthegenes (50/1), Dr Kapoor (66/1), Winter Orchid (80/1), Having A Cut (80/1), Full Moon Fluster (100/1), Larkfield Lidaho (100/1), Danu Faha (125/1), Jetaway Sheldon (150/1), The Cheeky Pup (150/1), Tamara Jane (150/1)

This stiffer test promises to suit REIKI REVOLUTION, who put in good late work when third in a big-field Listowel contest over 20.4f at the end of May. He shades preference ahead of Empire Success, while likely improver Times A Wastin is best of the rest.
