Forecasts

Gentle Look (5/2), Fields Of Athenry (4/1), San Carlos (9/2), Fintas (9/2), Spirit Warning (5/1), Woven (7/1)

The hat-trick seeking Gentle Look is respected despite shouldering another hike in the ratings and should run well but preference is for the unexposed SAN CARLOS. He made a decent impression here in April and has scope for more upped in distance now reverting to handicaps. In a field where nothing can be crossed off with confidence, Fintas may be most interesting of the remainder.
