Forecasts

The Little Yank (7/4), Railway Hurricane (9/4), Ferdia (3/1), Grand Bornand (6/1), Gladiatorial (14/1), Ashqar (50/1)

FERDIA has looked better than ever of late and, following a creditable third in a handicap at Killarney, he could get back to winning ways. The Little Yank may well have a better effort in him over fences, so he's feared most ahead of Railway Hurricane.
