Forecasts

Farrokh (10/3), W B Easy (7/2), Kaikoura (9/2), Tubberfinn Lady (6/1), Dontdooddson (8/1), Dontgowithjoe (11/1), Another Girl (16/1), Small Bucks (16/1), Tasmanian Girl (18/1), Stormy Jenn (22/1), Is She Now (22/1), Fine Print (33/1), Syosset (50/1), Guest Star (50/1), Doyen Og (66/1)

DONTGOWITHJOE was well on top at the finish at Ballinrobe earlier in the month so might be able to cope with a 6 lb rise. W B Easy shapes like he has a race like this in him and is second choice ahead of Barry Connell's Farrokh.
