Forecasts

Amazing Emma (3/1), Dragons Call (9/2), Rocky Dreams (6/1), Alnofoor (15/2), Misterio (9/1), Ever Rock (10/1), Red Cymbal (10/1), Gatwick Kitten (12/1), Stanhope (14/1), Attelboro (16/1), Hathiq (18/1), Boughtinthedark (18/1), Doonard Prince (20/1), Corballis Flyer (50/1), I've Got Wings (100/1)

BOUGHTINTHEDARK has slipped to a handy mark and hinted at a return to form when a recent fifth at the Curragh so this course winner gets the nod in a very open handicap. In-form Misterio is another weighted to have a say, while top-weight Alnofoor can be expected to take a step forward now going handicapping and warrants plenty of respect too.
