Forecasts

Empty Nest (6/4), Henry Gray (4/1), Hokelami (4/1), King Of The Hill (11/2), Noche Negra (6/1), Cokytho (7/1), Hollington (9/1), William Ewart (10/1), Attention All (12/1), Master Breffni (12/1), Limerick Leader (14/1)

EMPTY NEST closed all the way to the line when a close third over C&D 5 weeks ago so has obvious claims off a similar mark. Hokelami responded well to a tongue strap/change of tactics when making all at Market Rasen so is feared most ahead of old rival Cokytho, who seems to be building up to something.
