Forecasts

Drish Hero (3/1), Eye Of The Water (9/2), Portelet Bay (7/1), Red Alert (15/2), Amazing Amaya (15/2), Jack Ryan (8/1), Country Charm (9/1), Decision Maker (12/1), Highest Ambition (16/1), Hope Probe (50/1)

DRISH HERO didn't show a great deal on his stable debut here a month ago but he should strip fitter for that and back on his last winning mark with headgear back on, there's definite cause for optimism. Red Alert and Jack Ryan arrive in good order and are obvious dangers.
