Forecasts

Wrong Direction (5/6), Dento Des Obeaux (10/3), Tareeshar (9/2), Flurry Yeats (7/1), Vaucelet (8/1), Heydour (14/1), Fiston Du Mou (16/1), Texas Gold (18/1), Subset (22/1), Tout Paris (40/1), Easca Mor (50/1), Ballyearl (66/1), The Lying King (80/1), Change Your Story (80/1), William Tyndale (150/1), Ajijic (150/1), Mr Cosmos (200/1)

WRONG DIRECTION couldn't justify support at Gowran last time but, if he's back on his game, he should have too much for some moderate opposition. Stablemates Dento Des Obeaux and Tareeshar both arrive on the back of good placed efforts, though they'll likely need to improve to land this.
