Forecasts

From The Ashes (9/4), No Fussing (5/1), He's Home Again (11/2), Cosmo Renfro (6/1), Balum (7/1), Jerk (17/2), Just Three (9/1), Magic Sadler (14/1), See A Stride (14/1), Tramps Like Us (25/1), Wild Hunt (25/1), Chance The Robin (28/1), Redzy Rocco (28/1)

This looks wide open. NO FUSSING arrives on the up so is taken to gain a deserved first success of the season after posting excellent back-to-back runner-up spots. Recent Punchestown scorer Balum heads the list of dangers, although a good case can also be made for the likes of He's Home Again, See A Stride, Jerk and Chance The Robin.
