Forecasts

Morepowertoya (6/1), Dark Image (6/1), Mary's Pride (13/2), Cash The Cheque (15/2), Spick And Span (15/2), The Niffler (8/1), Makfils (10/1), Liberated Light (10/1), Inchiquin Star (12/1), Someone's Wish (14/1), Katakana (14/1), Aussie Warrior (16/1), Young Lucy (16/1), Voice Of Reason (18/1), Golden Sandbanks (25/1), Kilbrin Rocco (28/1), Lorca (33/1), Rushford (33/1), Milteye (40/1), One Cool Poet (40/1), Halla Paroiste (50/1)

This could be a lively betting heat with several open to plenty of progress. KATAKANA showed more over hurdles at Ballinrobe last time and her mark could be lenient given she managed to win twice in French bumpers. Young Lucy was a non runner again here on Wednesday and it will be interesting to see a market move, with Morepowertoya another to consider.
