Forecasts

Haunted Dream (16/5), Single Minded (4/1), Copperknob (4/1), Eight Of Diamonds (7/1), Alpine Lady (7/1), Sun Rising (9/1), Herbertandflorence (12/1), Mezzanotte (16/1), Olimba (50/1)

All of these tackle this trip for the first time and COPPERKNOB and Haunted Dream look the two most likely to relish it. Marginal preference is for Gary Moore's charge. Sun Rising upped her game switched to the AW last time and is another to consider.
