Forecasts

Irish Ambassador (4/1), Buachaill Or (4/1), Tyriana (9/2), Tanseeq (6/1), Memsie (6/1), Masalai (13/2), Everyhouronthehour (11/1), Hit The Silk (12/1), Eacharn (25/1), Philly's Hope (33/1), Du Maurier (33/1), My Lark (33/1), Dame Joan (40/1), Muntahez (50/1), Talking Tough (66/1), Laurel Grove (66/1), Crystal Pool (80/1)

TANSEEQ has slipped to a good mark and hinted strongly at a revival when third over C&D last time so gets the verdict here. Masalai has also shown positive signs of late so this C&D winner is feared along with in-form duo Irish Ambassador and Everyhouronthehour.
