Forecasts

Kimi De Mai (6/4), Bergamasquo (4/1), Shabby Hill (5/1), Lord Tobin (5/1), Double Power (11/2), Sticktothescript (12/1), Lyreen Og (25/1), Albus (25/1), Poet's Gale (50/1), Wise Man (50/1), Gerrymandering (100/1), Michael's Jet (100/1), Potters Pal (100/1), Royal Soldier (150/1), Jesse James Howard (150/1), Peppers Corner (200/1)

Verdict

KIMI DE MAI is entitled to come on for her Naas reappearance and gets the vote ahead of Bergamasquo. Lord Tobin and Shabby Hill made promising hurdle debuts last month and can fight it out for third.
