Forecasts

Infinity Succes (3/1), Out Of Aces (16/5), Hardy Stuff (18/5), Ronnie's Rascal (4/1), Quinta Do Lago (15/2), Brave Josee (14/1), Rare Times (16/1), Tipu Sultan (20/1), Ribadora (25/1), Jet Away Jimmy (25/1), Powerful Rosie (33/1), Eamon's Dream (33/1), Trocadero Trouble (33/1), Lucy The Wire (40/1), Ocean Murphy (40/1), Wee Fallon (50/1), Miners Cabin (80/1), Kenny's Jewel (100/1), It's Bobsled Time (150/1)

The first in a new series of races for young NH horses and OUT OF ACES might be the way to go before market clues. He's a full-brother to Turn And Finish, who showed plenty in 3-y-o hurdles for Joseph O'Brien before moving to Britain, and should be ready to roll. Ronnie's Rascal is an obvious contender for Willie Mullins, as is Hardy Stuff for Gordon Elliott.
