Forecasts

Finans Bay (3/1), Longbourn (7/2), Free To Party (4/1), Max Mayhem (7/1), Snag It (8/1), Once Upon A River (12/1), Eclat De Lumiere (16/1), Giselles Ausie (22/1), Summit Star (25/1), Nectarine (25/1), Dare To Flare (25/1), Blackcastle Storm (40/1), Whatharm (40/1), Meritorious (40/1), Maralinga (66/1)

LONGBOURN arrives on a handy-looking mark back in handicap company so is taken to go one better than when a recent second here and open his account for 2022. Summit Star didn't enjoy the best of runs when eighth at Limerick and this C&D scorer is feared most ahead of polytrack debutant Giselles Ausie.
