Forecasts

Heart To Heart (5/2), Threebagsfull (3/1), Jarvis (4/1), Impeachd Alexander (6/1), Areille (15/2), Speedacus (17/2), It Might Be You (25/1), Daintree (66/1)

HEART TO HEART drops to the minimum trip after getting worn down late on over 6f at Navan last weekend and is fancied to go one better now. The drop back to 5f could also suit Jarvis so he's put up as the chief threat ahead of Johnny Murtagh's Threebagsfull.
