Forecasts

Inishmot Prince (7/2), Rocky Dreams (9/2), Apple Of His Eye (5/1), Adams Barbour (13/2), Linus Larrabee (9/1), Jered Maddox (10/1), Iva Batt (11/1), Poet's Pride (11/1), Fan Club Rules (14/1), Eglish (16/1), Plezantlysurprised (20/1), Sister Lola (20/1), Diamond Eyes (25/1), Pinball Wizard (33/1), Sister Rosetta (80/1)

INISHMOT PRINCE is progressive and shouldn't have much problem with the step up in trip, so he's fancied to land the hat-trick up against more exposed types. Eglish is worth a mention after a luckless run last time and Rocky Dreams can't be ruled out on the back of a claiming success.
