Forecasts

Y Fyn Duw A Fydd (11/2), Strikeback (11/2), Makfils (13/2), Well Funded (13/2), Spick And Span (7/1), Virtual Oscar (8/1), Peace Party (11/1), Vairue (14/1), Aghinagh (14/1), Hattie Amarin (18/1), Light Fury (18/1), Elzoom (20/1), Serpolette (22/1), Canteeny Benny (22/1), Stealing Kisses (33/1), Kinnegad Lad (66/1)

VIRTUAL OSCAR was a tad underwhelming at Kilbeggan last time, but he was possibly unsuited by a change of tactics, so is worth another chance now going handicapping judged on the pick of his form. Hattie Amarin can have a line put through her latest run having found to be coughing post race and remains one to bear in mind at this level, while Strikeback completes the shortlist.
