Forecasts

Santonito (11/8), Hiddenvalley Lake (5/2), Eabha Grace (10/3), Gaoth Chuil (10/1), Gringo D'ainay (18/1), All For Rachel (22/1), Malton Groove (33/1), Cadatharla (33/1), Broadford Publican (33/1), Fiveonefive (80/1), Chainofconsequence (100/1), Low Mileage (100/1), Thirsty Thursday (100/1), Fenway (125/1), Maria's Serpent (150/1), Benjis Benefit (150/1), Nimbus Boy (150/1), Brucejack (150/1), Johnny Rose (200/1), Will It Be You (200/1), Mollys Jet (200/1), Shindig (200/1), Toni Ram (250/1)

Several of these have already shown plenty of promise under Rules but HIDDENVALLEY LAKE, who was unlucky not to win his sole start between the flags last December (carried out by a loose horse at the final fence when in the lead and going well), appeals most. He fetched a cool £200,000 and could be a pretty useful prospect for his top connections. Gaoth Chuil was bang there when exiting 2 out in a Listowel maiden last time and she is next on the list ahead of Santonito and Eabha Grace.
