Forecasts

Be Proud (9/4), Buniann (3/1), Loulin (7/2), Ballyare (9/2), Fashion Advice (13/2), Lorna Cole (8/1), Gossip (12/1), Debawtry (16/1), Jan Van Hoof (20/1), Leo Minor (20/1)

BE PROUND has been in good form at this venue and put up a career best over C&D a couple of weeks ago, so gets the nod. Ballyare is like Be Proud in that he may need luck in-running but he's also going well and could have a say. Buniann has a decent C&D record, and he's dropping in grade.
