Forecasts

Jesse Evans (1/3), Hallowed Star (9/2), Vinland (8/1), Drop The Anchor (12/1), Seattle Sound (14/1), Hearts Are Trumps (16/1), Beret Rouge (16/1), Stansfield (20/1), Charli Parcs (25/1), Ardla (33/1), The Role Model (50/1), Titan Jack (66/1), Scenic Look (150/1), Our Man Flint (150/1), Vee Dancer (150/1), Miss Polly Shelby (200/1)

A repeat of the level JESSE EVANS showed when runner-up at Thurles a couple of weeks ago might be good enough to see him go one better here. Drop The Anchor is presumably using this to tee himself up for a return to jumping but he should have the ability to play a part in a race like this. Beret Rouge and Vinland are others who could have a say.
