Forecasts

Daring Decree (11/4), Rippon Lodge (7/2), Tim Rocco (5/1), Ricky Langford (11/2), Drummullagh Rocky (6/1), Old Town Road (13/2), Bective Cave (8/1), Casamari Abbey (9/1), Go Battle (12/1), Sani Pass (20/1), So Easy Way (66/1)

RIPPON LODGE shaped as if still in good heart before falling 4 out at Downpatrick 11 days ago and is well worth another chance off this revised mark. Drummullagh Rocky won the race that day and should go well again, with Old Town Road another to consider.
