Forecasts

Presenting Bonnie (7/2), Kitty Galore (5/1), Joeswayornoway (11/2), Blowing Dixie (13/2), Knock On Steel (7/1), Scalor (8/1), Jazz Ranger (10/1), Tonkinese (11/1), Princely Conn (14/1), Tham Luang (25/1), Bective Cave (50/1)

JOESWAYORNOWAY was ahead of a couple of next-time-out winners when a narrow second at Downpatrick last month and is taken to go one better. Blowing Dixie and Kitty Galore both return from 8 months off but still rate the chief threats.
