Forecasts

Rojuco Mac (5/6), Looking For Eight (5/2), Detroit Maverick (3/1), Timesareachanging (4/1), Burning Ability (9/2), Haveanothertry (10/1), Tazman Dan (33/1), Home By The Sea (33/1), Line Speed (50/1), Puntabeg Lad (100/1)

LOOKING FOR EIGHT ticks plenty of boxes on paper and is taken to make a winning start. Rojuco Mac again shaped well behind an above-average prospect at Punchestown last month and must enter the reckoning, with Detriot Maverick narrowly preferred to stablemate Haveanothertry before market clues.
