Forecasts

Chazzesmee (11/4), Brosna Empress (9/2), Zahee (11/2), Court Of Appeal (6/1), Just Let Go (7/1), Pride Of Pimlico (7/1), Approach The City (9/1), Never Back Down (14/1), Chummie (14/1), Blyton (16/1), Silent Performance (20/1), Trading Point (22/1), Cormac (40/1), Take My Hand (50/1), Macadam's Rock (66/1), Lunar Gold (80/1)

The vote goes to BLYTON, who will have every chance if able to reproduce his recent turf form back on the all-weather. The 5-y-o is just 3 lb higher than for his Bellewstown win last month and wasn't beaten far at Thurles next time. Zahee isn't the most reliable, but he'll be a threat if able to back up his recent effort over 7f here, while Take My Hand and Never Back Down are others to consider.
