Forecasts

Arverne (11/8), Chavi Artist (9/4), Deadheat (3/1), Theatre World (13/2), Coeur Joyeux (8/1), Mister Eddman (9/1), Hear No Evil (10/1), Ah Littleluck (14/1), Black Scorpion (50/1)

DEADHEAT was left with too much to do when runner-up at Listowel last time and still looks attractively handicapped. He is fancied to score. Chavi Artist and Arverne look the likeliest dangers.
