Forecasts

Mighty Mo Missouri (9/4), Calico (11/4), Samadabad (10/3), Luminous Light (9/2), Yeats Star (15/2), Knocknacree (10/1), Weseekherthere (10/1), Montys Rock (16/1), My Second Chance (22/1), Blue Reed (25/1), Inchiquin Star (25/1), Western Model (50/1), Sea The Sunset (66/1), Chilled Out (100/1), Boxcar Molly (150/1), Bowgate Street (250/1), Vector Belle (250/1), Alittlebitofrita (250/1), Gimmeago (300/1)

French Flat winner SAMADABAD shaped with plenty of promise whe third on his hurdles debut at Navan and, with improvement on the cards, he could be the answer. Mighty Mo Missouri was well held at the Cheltenham Festival but sets the standard back in maiden company judged on his solid placed efforts at Naas and Gowran. He is feared most ahead of Calico and Luminous Light.
