Forecasts

War Hero (11/8), Irish Acclaim (2/1), Meishar (4/1), Facethepuckout (12/1), I Know I Can (14/1), Nightflight (25/1), Robert Guiscard (28/1), Intend (50/1), Alhajjaj (50/1), Sahreej (50/1), Viv Vance (80/1), Mutiny (80/1)

WAR HERO had excuses last time and was in fine form previously. He can resume winning ways. Irish Acclaim looks the clear danger on form, whilst Meishar should also make his presence felt.
