Forecasts

Level Of Intensity (7/4), Less Of That (9/4), Pronounced (7/1), Jock Talk (8/1), Secret Memories (10/1), Cashless (12/1), Memorial Rose (14/1), Enemy Of The State (16/1), Future Frontier (16/1), Marvellous Ways (20/1), Awesome Gal (20/1), Autumn Breeze (20/1), Remember Nerja (25/1), Big Ego (25/1), Machine Head (25/1), Alfred Wegener (33/1), Endless Endeavour (50/1), Elusive John (50/1)

A race, historically at this track over 1m2f has a strong advantage for those ridden at the front of the field or very prominently. Machine Head and Future Frontier could be the two to take the field along here, whether they are good enough hold their positions remain to be seen. Of those with the pace, I like the chances of Less Of That, disappointed here over 1m2f when sixth of 12, but hit the frame again, last time out at Gowran Park and LEVEL OF INTENSITY, winner at Gowran Park on Tuesday and second at Fairyhouse next day at Fairyhouse with a 6lb penalty. Pronounced will be doing his best work towards the end of the race.
