Forecasts

Definiteadare (11/10), Amlad (7/2), The Great White (5/1), Anno Maximo (14/1), Fly De Megaudais (16/1), Arrycan (16/1), Knockraha Katie (22/1), Wade Harper (22/1), Fredastare (25/1), Dylan Oak (25/1), Fire Love (28/1), Ventnor (28/1), Shantou Lucky (33/1), Rock Of Tuskar (40/1), Galypso Clermont (50/1), Hourie (50/1), Global Mayhem (80/1), Lucky Buck (80/1), Haondotri (150/1)

DEFINITEADARE got off the mark in clear-cut style here last week and can make light of a 5 lb penalty if showing up in similar form. Amlad looks the chief threat with Rachael Blackmore doing the steering. Ventnor may prove best of the remainder.
