Forecasts

Born Invincible (4/1), Ban Og (4/1), Adams Barbour (4/1), Pretty Smart (5/1), Aurora Eclipse (8/1), Drish Hero (11/1), Sassy Dancer (12/1), The Cola Kid (12/1), Eacharn (14/1), Joupe (16/1), Intervention (16/1), Manhattan Dandy (18/1), Seven Worlds (20/1), Bambari (20/1), Mary Salome (20/1), Kals Mogok (22/1), Pillar (28/1), It's All A Joke (33/1), Tommy The Hat (33/1), Plough Boy (33/1)

ADAMS BARBOUR arrives in good order and could take some pegging back under another positive ride, so he's marginally preferred to Born Invincible, who took a firm step back in the right direction last time. Drish Hero is another one to consider in an open race.
