Forecasts

Coill Na Sionainne (9/4), Kosman (9/1), Joven (9/1), Harbanaker (11/1), Fugacious (11/1), Pride Of Pimlico (11/1), The Mpex Kid (12/1), Atlas (14/1), Albedo (14/1), Colonel Slade (14/1), Beagnach Sasta (16/1), Neyland (16/1), Chimeric (16/1), Nakao (20/1), Oh Purple Reign (22/1), Boasty (33/1), Fancy Red Diamond (33/1), Tashim (33/1), Butterfly Lounge (33/1), Gatsby Cap (40/1), Take My Hand (50/1), Blankiedoodie (80/1)

The vote goes to JOVEN, who took a step back in the right direction when fifth in a 15-runner C&D handicap off a 2 lb higher mark on return last month. Atlas was far from disgraced at the Curragh recently and he is second choice ahead of Coill Na Sionainne and Beagnach Sasta.
