Forecasts

Inthepocket (7/4), The Mediator (5/2), Joyeux Machin (10/3), Ahead Of The Posse (8/1), A Fortune Out West (8/1), Feddans (10/1), Happy Birthday (12/1), Crossgales Ophelia (20/1), Transmission (22/1), Toni Ram (33/1), Hume Street (50/1), Fortunate Lady (66/1), Tom Kelly (100/1), Joy Of Life (125/1), No Show (125/1), Gracefromnaas (200/1)

Henry de Bromhead has won this race twice in recent years so the suggestion is expensive point recruit INTHEPOCKET, with confidence increased should the betting vibes be strong. The Mediator ought to be sharper with last month's hurdle debut behind him and is the obvious danger. Feddans may prove best of the remainder.
