Forecasts

Wood Breizh (11/8), Ibsen (9/4), Shoofly (8/1), Glenbank King (10/1), Inis Meain (14/1), Last Garrison (16/1), Musical Jewel (16/1), Maladh (33/1), Cavelli (33/1), Bye Awhile (40/1)

Market leader and not seen for 440-days, IBSEN, could well make all here in this weak event. Wood Breizh, better than his last two runs, a spin over hurdles and and a forgettable start at the Galway festival. and Glenbank King, won at Ayr last month at 50/1, winning by a short-head, over Guitar Pete, will give him most to think about.
