Forecasts

Money Heist (5/4), Mr Brogue (8/1), Brandy Harbour (17/2), Wild Caprice (9/1), Lesssaidthebetter (10/1), The Chapel Field (10/1), Musical Ava (12/1), Karla Martina (14/1), Moyode Mist (18/1), Gap Of Dunloe (22/1), Echo Gate (22/1), Merry Moves (28/1), Cottage Artist (33/1), Bugscuffle (33/1), So Easy Way (40/1), Kaytana (40/1)

Verdict

Slim pickings but you suspect MONEY HEIST has a bigger performance in him and he could be the way to go now handicapping back over hurdles after 6 months off. Market support for Gap of Dunloe, who also starts out in handicaps after an even longer absence, would be interesting. Wild Caprice is more established and certainly not without a chance.
