Forecasts

Mitchouka (10/3), Livelovelaugh (10/3), Minella Till Dawn (4/1), Uisce Beatha (5/1), Midnight Maestro (15/2), Mister Fogpatches (10/1), Ask Nile (10/1), Best Behavior (16/1), Peaches And Cream (18/1), Powersbomb (18/1), Grand Partner (20/1), Rapid Response (20/1), Valdieu (22/1), Snugsborough Hall (25/1), Jett (50/1), Prospectus (50/1)

LIVELOVELAUGH was an excellent fourth in a C&D handicap last month and should go well again in this easier grade. Minella Till Dawn won in good style at Naas 3 weeks ago and is the obvious threat, with Mitchouka best of the others.
