Forecasts

Irish Tractor (9/4), Willow Express (7/2), Noble Striker (7/2), City By The Sea (6/1), Leopold (7/1), Team Gold (8/1), Chijmes (10/1), All Of Me (10/1), Mardi Gras (18/1), Constable (28/1)

IRISH TRACTOR was back to his best last time out and has prime claims. All Of Me is just about preferred for second, while Noble Striker is perhaps the most interesting of the others.
