Forecasts

Presenting Dylan (5/4), Ashton Court (11/2), Lusis Naturea (11/2), Breezy Bell (8/1), Jazz Ranger (12/1), Heliers Bay (16/1), Floating Around (16/1), Atlas (20/1), Dancing Jeremy (20/1), Sicario (20/1), Vocal Queen (20/1), Fallen Forest (25/1), Feel Des Mottes (28/1), Shadows Return (28/1), Blue Ribbon (33/1), Jess's Corner (50/1), Magic Piper (80/1)

LUSIS NATUREA can race off the same mark as when an exellent recent second at Downpatrick so is fancied to go one better here. Tramore winner Jazz Ranger is feared most despite a 5 lb rise for that victory, although it would come as no surprise to see Presenting Dylan have a say too on his first run for Gordon Elliott.
