Forecasts

Eye Of A Tiger (11/8), Kabylia (11/8), Beir Bua (7/2), Matt Connor (25/1), Butch Coolidge (28/1), Awakening (33/1), Itsaworkinmaniam (40/1), Dynamic Force (50/1), Randall Poets Lass (50/1), Top Spin Lob (50/1), Ailbhe Ava (100/1), Miss Bella Vista (125/1), King Bob (200/1)

EYE OF A TIGER and Kabylia have shown enough to think they can win a race like this, with marginal preference for the former in receipt of 8 lb. Beir Bua won a bumper recently so she's entitled to respect now hurdling.
