Forecasts

Eastern Racer (3/1), Mischief Star (7/2), Ideal Pal (5/1), Tooso (13/2), Alhaajeb (9/1), Sevenal (9/1), Just For Yuse (11/1), Big Challenge (14/1), Brehon Star (16/1), Mosaaheb (18/1), Aleksey Tolstoy (40/1), Golden Eye Diamond (40/1), Paddytheirishman (80/1), Katelyn's Dream (125/1)

EASTERN RACER made a good start for his new yard when runner-up at Killarney and looks the way to go here at these weights. Both Tooso and Just For Yuse are weighted to have a say too if bringing their A-game in a change of headgear and can chase home the selection in that order.
