Forecasts

Come On Du Berlais (8/11), Three Card Brag (3/1), Maughold Head (5/1), Zumbi (11/2), Glascar More (7/1), The Best Way (12/1), Self Isolation (12/1), American Land (14/1), Prospect House (16/1), Ballyporeen (20/1), Brown Monday (25/1), Not In Kansas (25/1), Mosaawaah (28/1), Picks Lad (40/1), Reetazeetajones (300/1)

THREE CARD BRAG displayed the right attitude when successful on debut at Wexford, and given the level he achieved in the process, he may well be up to defying a penalty. Gordon Elliott is also responsible for a likely-looking newcomer in Come On du Berlais, with The Best Way another likeable sort on paper.
