Forecasts

Pack Your Bags (11/4), Rock On Lilly (5/1), Ted Bach (7/1), Fiesole (8/1), Bobbythegangster (8/1), Mr Moondance (10/1), Balinaboola (11/1), Robyns Approach (16/1), The Irritator (16/1), Jimmyjames (20/1), Silent Sun (20/1), Goneoff (33/1), Aye Paddy Too (33/1), Loughderg Princess (50/1), Whoyakodding (50/1)

In a race that looks as though it will not take a lot of winning I take ROCK ON LILLY to continue her progress and get her head in front at the thirteenth time of asking. Mr Moondance, despite having not won for two years, has some decent efforts to his name and could prove the danger while Pack Your Bags can again make the frame.
