Forecasts

Sunset Nova (5/1), Beleaguerment (5/1), Neyland (13/2), Caesar's Comet (7/1), Silk Cravat (8/1), Munfallet (8/1), Miss Sassyboots (8/1), Poet's Pride (9/1), Iontach (9/1), Shatharaat (12/1), Amazing One (12/1), Lady Andaz (14/1), Iseebreeze (16/1), Accessory (16/1), Eacharn (40/1), My Lucky Penny (80/1), Intense Stylist (80/1)

CAESAR'S COMET is on a good mark and arrives on the back of a positive start for his new stable when third over C&D 30 days ago, so he makes most appeal in a race where the majority have questions to answer. Munfallet could go well if he doesn't face too much pressure up front, while Iseebreeze shouldn't be ruled out from a low draw with a useful apprentice on board.
