Forecasts

Clew Bay (5/2), No Trouble (10/3), Comedy La Vega (9/2), Magic Word (13/2), Rockview Roman (15/2), Lady De Vesci (12/1), Macaban City (12/1), Stay With Me (12/1), Turf Range (16/1), Fryerns (16/1), Light Fury (25/1), Lily Of The Glen (28/1), Twentybore (40/1), Wisaka (50/1), Heliaebel (80/1), Leviosa (100/1), Power Drive (125/1)

CLEW BAY has taken well to the AW surface here in recent weeks and might be up to taking care of these largely more exposed rivals. Lady de Vesci arrives in form from hurdling and has a good course record so she's a possible threat. Fryerns bounced back to form here recently and is another to consider, while Lily of The Glen needs monitoring in the market on her first run for Ado McGuinness.
