Forecasts

Blue Shadow (5/2), With A Start (4/1), Construct (9/2), King's Vow (11/2), Tonkinese (10/1), Bold Approach (12/1), Curious Bride (14/1), Anyonecanhaveitall (14/1), Purdey's Gift (25/1), Nibiru (40/1), Snegurochka (50/1), Ashqar (80/1), Harvest Bow (100/1)

CONSTRUCT is taken to build on his good recent third here now he gets back over 2m and gain a deserved first win of the campaign. Noel Meade's With A Start arrives in excellent nick over hurdles so is feared most although stable-companion Curious Bride should also have a say in an open handicap.
