Forecasts

Seangoell (4/1), Added Bonus (9/2), Happie Days (9/2), Definiteadare (13/2), Fizzlestick (9/1), Ask And Answer (12/1), Moscowsowhat (12/1), Cailean's Angel (18/1), Tangental (20/1), Glenabo Bridge (22/1), War Eagle (22/1), Cabin Hill (25/1), Handsworth (25/1), Direct Fire (28/1), Double Windsor (28/1), Trans Wood (33/1), Royal Aide (50/1), Lily Trotter (66/1), Royal Gift (66/1)

ADDED BONUS came 18 lengths clear of the third when second at Limerick last month so a 3 lb rise looks manageable and he's taken to get off the mark now stepping up to 3m for the first time. Seangoell and Definiteadare are also on the shortlist, while Cailean's Choice is worth keeping an eye on in the betting now setting out for new trainer Gavin Cromwell.
