Forecasts

Inchidaly Copper (5/1), Newport (11/2), The Border Boy (13/2), Mother Ship (8/1), Thats All (8/1), General Clermont (10/1), Glendine Billy (10/1), Perfectway (12/1), Glorious Singer (14/1), Agent Tequila (14/1), Toor Moon (16/1), Fancy A Tipple (16/1), Silent Selector (18/1), Alright Darling (20/1), Doyen Flyer (20/1), Positive Mindset (22/1), Notevenatext (22/1), Tennesse Boy (25/1), Keep It Cool (125/1)

THE BORDER BOY did the job well when opening his account over 17f here recently and, with neither the subsequent 5 lb rise nor the return to this trip likely to be an issue, he is taken to follow up. Next on the list is Mother Ship, who posted her best effort yet over hurdles when third of 16 at Sligo, while Thats All is another to consider.
