Forecasts

Wake The Giant (7/2), Aliym (18/5), Dalileo (5/1), Soi Cowboy (11/2), Likable Chancer (7/1), Dinny's Ginny (10/1), Wa Wa (11/1), Railway Muice (11/1), Fowlplay (12/1), Little Lady Lu (12/1), Cluan Dara (20/1), Bronze Bull (20/1), Back To Bataan (20/1), King's War (25/1), Roscomroe (25/1), Lady Of The Sea (40/1), Burnt Ash (40/1), Carlotalin (66/1)

DALILEO fared best of those held up in a steadily-run race at Roscommon 10 days ago and could be the answer back up in trip here. Wake The Giant went through the race like a well-handicapped horse for much of the way at Perth, so is one to bear in mind, as is Dinny's Ginny, who will be suited by a return 2½m.
