Forecasts

Hell Bent (7/4), Prairie Dancer (10/3), Xeres (11/2), Play The Crowd (15/2), Lifetime Legend (8/1), Camino Mission (12/1), Boulette (18/1), Henry The Fifth (18/1), War Thunder (80/1)

PLAY THE CROWD ran to quite a useful level when runner-up at Navan 5 weeks ago and is taken to build on that and go one better now. Camino Mission was a couple of lengths behind the selection in fourth on that occasion and may prove next best with improvement on the cards. Jessica Harrington's Hell Bent can take third.
