Forecasts

Weseekhimhere (6/4), Mars Harper (11/4), Camp David (4/1), Knockmoylan (4/1), Ardla (4/1), Staging Post (12/1), Sweet Street (14/1), Fast And Fun (25/1), Patch Junior (40/1)

Gordon Elliott looks to hold a very strong hand with impressive last-time-out winners WESEEKHIMHERE and Mars Harper. Both won with a fair amount to spare, but the former achieved slightly more in the process so is marginally preferred. Camp David's opening run was full of promise and he is respected.
