Forecasts

Bennystiara (6/4), Dakota Beat (15/8), Pay The Fine (5/1), Dinero Falso (9/1), Imminent Arrival (9/1), Creggsman (11/1), One Hot Poet (14/1), Howishedizzy (25/1), Lizlucky (33/1), Chief Seattle (40/1), Bilboa River (66/1), Beechroad Winnie (80/1), Mustafa (125/1), Ink And Rain (150/1), Mourne Mist (150/1), Barto (150/1), Cosmology (500/1)

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest, and DAKOTA BEAT looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to open his account after posting a good fifth at Perth returning to this sphere last time. Pay The Fine appeals as the one to chase home Gavin Cromwell's fair performer with Bennystiara worth considering for place purposes.
