Forecasts

Jo Coko (11/10), Paddy O'Mahler (15/8), Cosmic Blizzard (6/1), Orkney Blue (13/2), Blakey Boy (7/1)

JO COKO showed promise on 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles for James Ewart and being an Irish point winner, it's reasonable to assume he can do even better now switching to chasing for an-form yard. Paddy O'Mahler and Cosmic Blizzard are feared most in that order.
