Forecasts

Shecouldbeanything (2/1), Mighty Tom (5/2), Sequoiaspirit (8/1), Miss Fourie (10/1), Bythesametoken (11/1), Vischio (12/1), Set Point (14/1), A Law Of Her Own (14/1), Extrapolation (16/1), Wouldn't You Agree (20/1)

MIGHTY TOM has C&D winning form to his name and having shaped as though still in excellent heart in the Galway Hurdle 3 weeks ago, he can cash in on this drop in grade. There is depth to this race, though, with Sequoiaspirit and A Law of Her Own just a couple of potential threats.
