Forecasts

Iroko (13/8), Rafferty's Return (5/2), Foster'sisland (11/2), Captain Zebo (15/2), Ballybegg (12/1), Ashington (18/1), Eternally Yours (18/1), Hasty Brook (22/1), Polisud (25/1), Hardi Du Mesnil (28/1), Celestial Horizon (100/1)

IROKO was well supported and duly showed improved form to make a winning return/handicap debut over C&D in November and, with further progress anticipated from this lightly-raced 5-y-o, he could well be up to defying this 5 lb higher mark having been given some time since. Old rival Rafferty's Return, and Foster'sisland, 1-2 over 21f here on Boxing Day, are others to consider, whilst veteran Captain Zebo is also worth a second look.
