Forecasts

Ejtilaab (9/4), Spycatcher (7/2), Good Effort (9/1), Bouttemont (10/1), Lord Of The Lodge (11/1), Edraak (12/1), Venturous (12/1), Harry's Bar (16/1), Volatile Analyst (18/1), Judicial (25/1), Mondammej (40/1), Soldier's Minute (50/1), Exalted Angel (66/1), May Sonic (100/1)

EJTILAAB took his form up a notch when scoring at Kempton and this C&D winner looks the one to beat on that form. Judicial showed the benefit of a wind op when a good recent second over C&D and rates a big threat along with Irish challenger Harry's Bar who comes here on the back of a cosy Dundalk success.
