Forecasts

Master Sunrise (6/4), Thoonavolla (11/2), Follow The Swallow (8/1), Midnight Gem (11/1), Ballycoe (11/1), Cruising Bye (12/1), Culm Counsellor (12/1), Orchestrated (16/1), Irish Thistle (25/1), Lord Aldervale (40/1), Free Return (50/1), Massinis Adventure (66/1), Just Skittles (150/1)

Verdict

Many of these are struggling for form of late so ORCHESTRATED, who returns from an eight-month break, is a tentative choice having shown fair form prior to bursting a blood vessel. Master Sunrise has been handed top weight for his handicap bow and despite that has to be respected having run with credit on his last two starts in fair hunter chases. The first time tongue-tie may help Culm Counsellor show improved form, while old boy Cruising Bye may be thereabouts having settled in well at his latest yard.
  1. Orchestrated
