Forecasts

Hard Target (11/4), Emancipator (7/2), Como Park (4/1), Happy Dreams (5/1), Mister Twist (5/1), That's About Right (5/1), Clonbury Bridge (7/1), Added Bonus (17/2), Spanish John (14/1), All Walks Of Life (16/1), Brianna Lily (16/1), Ferrum (33/1), Ella Rose (40/1)

This slightly shorter trip looks ideal for THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT given how he shaped at Ballinrobe last month, so he's taken to confirm the promise of that run and open his account. Como Park has yet to match his useful Flat form in this sphere but still has time on his side and will be suited by the step up in distance now heading into handicap company, while Hard Target has been running consistently well this summer and completes the shortlist.
