Forecasts

Hees Dynamite (7/2), West Clare (9/2), Its Not Over Yet (11/2), Ranger Billy (13/2), Oskar High (13/2), Letters To Juliet (7/1), Dream Once More (8/1), I Am Rocco (17/2), Jewelinthesky (11/1), Askwell (12/1), Granda George (16/1), Hurricane Darwin (16/1), Spavango (16/1), Charlie Buckett (16/1), King's Commander (16/1), Loughrask Rainbow (22/1), Mother Ship (33/1), Another Nightmare (40/1), Doitforjane Sid (50/1)

The vote goes to RANGER BILLY, who found just one too good at Ballinrobe last time and he remains on a workable mark up 2 lb. Hees Dynamite is 0-11 overall but was also runner-up on his latest start at Galway and will be a danger to all if able to build on that. West Clare went down all guns blazing when touched off by the re-opposing Oskar High last time and is taken to get the better of that rival on these revised terms. Granda George is one to keep an eye on now handicapping.
