Forecasts

Hero Of The Hour (5/2), Bucky Larson (7/2), Sunset Nova (4/1), Boomerang Bill (4/1), Soyounique (5/1), Pascalia (13/2), Rebecca's Girl (10/1), Cousin Shay (10/1), Blue Wood (11/1), Lynskey (14/1), Un Bacio Ancora (16/1), Angel Of The Sea (28/1), Teddy's Dawn (40/1), Coco Hill (50/1), Dawn Noir (66/1), Inverbrena (80/1), Spring Collection (100/1)

Competitive stuff and it's top-weight BUCKY LARSON who gets the tentative nod to come out on top dropping in grade and reunited with Dylan McMonagle. Soyounique made a satisfactory return from 7 months off here last week, so he's put forward as the main danger with that under his belt, while Sunset Nova, Un Bacio Ancora and Pascalia are just a handful of others worth considering, also.
