Forecasts

Longbourn (11/8), Emporio (2/1), Alessandro Algardi (4/1), Freescape (7/1), Exquisite Acclaim (20/1)

LONGBOURN failed to measure up to market expectations at Ballinrobe last time, but dropping back in trip here looks a good move and he earns the vote. Freescape could be the one to follow him home, while Emporio will be a danger to all if provided he's ready to roll following a 14-month absence.
