Forecasts

Jack Holiday (5/2), Alice Johnston (4/1), Ciankyle (9/2), Port Rashid (11/2), Tintown Robin (8/1), Rippon Lodge (12/1), Captain Cobajay (16/1), Rolling Revenge (18/1), Castle Fall's (25/1), Athloman Cottage (28/1), Onenightintown (28/1), Backintheboom (80/1)

CIANKYLE was better than ever when successful over hurdles at Ballinrobe a month ago and he looks well weighted up just 2 lb back over fences. Jack Holiday has responded well to front-running tactics of late and is feared most, with Alice Johnston completing the shortlist.
