Forecasts

Cousin Oscar (1/7), Burrenbridge Hotel (10/1), Hes Our Robin (14/1), Amerton Lane (50/1)

A poor turnout for this and it looks a good opportunity for COUSIN OSCAR to follow up his C&D win here in February, despite having to shoulder a penalty for that today. None of his three rivals have shown that level of form so far, and a repeat of it ought to be enough to take care of them. Hes Our Robin has some form in Ireland, albeit in low-level handicaps and may take second from Burrenbridge Hotel, who will be more interesting once getting a handicap mark after today.
