Forecasts

Loman Lady (5/6), Getaway Tobin (3/1), John Wemmick (6/1), Author Dora (7/1), Ebchester (18/1), Budworth Boy (22/1), River Ore (33/1), Finjimk (66/1)

GETAWAY TOBIN left a low-key debut well behind when fourth in a 10-runner bumper at Kilbeggan recently and looks the one to beat on that form, especially with the stiff nature of this track expected to suit a stayer in the making. Loman Lady is of interest having joined the Skeltons after finishing runner-up on her final outing in Irish points, while Ebchester can prove best of the rest.
