Forecasts

Hattie Amarin (7/2), Lusis Naturea (9/2), Mullins Cross (5/1), Kasakh Noir (8/1), Saga Aravis (17/2), Oromo (9/1), Keep 'em Lit (10/1), Gaelic Des Chastys (12/1), Eaton Lady (12/1), Cornerkova (14/1), Odds Or Evens (14/1), Back On The Bridle (16/1), Three Comets (16/1), Trouble And Strife (18/1), Bronze Bull (28/1), Trenchtown Rock (33/1), Nomadic Star (33/1), Willyouwalkwithme (33/1), Baltinglass Hill (40/1), Miss Adventurous (40/1), Made In Pimlico (50/1)

This looks wide open with a chance taken on OROMO, who returns to this sphere on a decent mark after a recent spin on the Flat. Hattie Amarin may do better still now handicapping at a low level, while it remains early days for Keep 'Em Lit, who had been shaping up well prior to his Punchestown handicap debut.
