Forecasts

Ingleby Mackenzie (5/2), Calthor (11/4), Batcio (8/1), Wolfofallstreets (17/2), Great Khan (9/1), Zarkareva (12/1), Rewritetherules (12/1), Benefit Run (12/1), Email Rose (12/1), Soi Cowboy (18/1), Steer Clear (22/1), Our Dougal (22/1), Flirting Lesa (25/1), Josephina (50/1), Smithscorner (80/1)

OUR DOUGAL hasn't been seen since shaping as if amiss at Cork in October 2018 but has been given a big chance by the handicapper so could be worth chancing. Last-time-out winners Great Khan and Ingleby Mackenzie head the dangers.
