Forecasts

Lisdarragh (11/4), Crystal Guard (3/1), Largo Bay (4/1), Miss Roulette (5/1), Red Flyer (13/2), Mount Olympus (15/2), Orchestral (10/1), Love Of Zoffany (11/1), Morani Kali (33/1), Faline (80/1)

An open-looking finale but LISDARRAGH seems to go well round here and he can add to a very respectable course record this season. Crystal Guard has been running creditably since switching to middle distance handicaps and he'll be a big danger. Mount Olympus has solid each-way claims too.
