Forecasts

Nailed Down (2/1), Timemakesitfine (9/4), Affable (3/1), Estepona Sun (3/1), Big Challenge (4/1), Alwisaam (22/1), Getback In Paris (33/1), Bracklin Princess (50/1), He Knows No Danger (50/1), But I Like It (66/1), Knuckles Mcginty (150/1)

ESTEPONA SUN won a similar event at Leopardstown last summer and looks a big player on these terms on his return to the Flat. Big Challenge was useful for Saeed Bin Suroor and rates a big threat if retaining most of that ability after 17 months off, with Timemakesitfine and Affable others to consider.
