Forecasts

Manwal (2/1), Flyin Hawaiian (11/4), Moss Tucker (3/1), Witham River (6/1), Crystal Black (15/2), Jjs Ascot (33/1), Barnhill Rose (100/1), No Hassle (125/1), Zeydabad (150/1), Ms Frizzle (200/1)

A few in with chances but this can go the way of MOSS TUCKER, who wasn't seen to best effect at Killarney last week and is taken to get off the mark at the fifth attempt with this return to further sure to be in his favour. Manwal left his debut effort well behind when runner-up here 4 weeks ago so he rates as the chief threat if building on that, ahead of Flyin Hawaiian.
