Forecasts

Congo River (8/13), Clever And Cool (85/40), Heartrate (5/2), Jer Batt (5/2), Invincible Cry (5/1), Sugar Beauty (11/2), Orchis (14/1), Trinity Road (33/1), Gustav Ucicky (66/1)

This looks to revolve around CONGO RIVER, who was unable to put the race to bed having held what looked a decisive advantage at Navan just under a fortnight ago but won't get many better opportunities than this. Invincible Cry and Heartrate both shaped with promise on their respective debuts and can chase the selection home in that order.
