Forecasts

Ken's Sam's (9/2), Lily's Prince (6/1), Tyrconnell (6/1), Smart Stinger (7/1), Confident Kid (9/1), Seeking Truth (9/1), Lapilli (10/1), Rag Tatter (10/1), Groovy Jazz (10/1), Burren View Lady (12/1), Amazing One (16/1), Jack Nevison (16/1), Mr Shelby (20/1), Annie Fior (20/1), Baile An Roba (33/1), Red All Star (33/1), Florida's King (40/1)

As well as the yard having a good record here in early February meetings, KEN'S SAM'S is in fine form currently following a win here over 5f and a win over a similar trip at Newcastle earlier this month. The intense Focus mare can land the spoils at the expense of the solid and consistent Tyrconnell in first-time cheekpieces and last time out C&D winner Rag Tatter. Confident Kid second over C&D last month off a 1lb lower mark can go well at a price.
