Forecasts

Zaynudin (6/4), Monas Melody (9/4), Sandhurst (7/1), Guiri (9/1), Castlegrace Paddy (10/1), Cirque Royal (10/1), Happy Jacky (14/1), Sea Appeal (18/1), West Cork Wildway (25/1), Pythion (40/1), Moulane West (50/1), Landue (66/1), Benruben (100/1), Scheu Time (125/1)

ZAYNUDIN opened his account in hugely impressive style at Gowran last time and there's hope for more progress, so he gets the nod ahead of Monas Melody and Sandhurst, who have actually achieved a bit more to this point but are more exposed than the selection.
