Forecasts

Banbrook Boy (5/4), Inclement Weather (5/1), Lord Clenaghcastle (13/2), Always Fearless (7/1), He's Our Star (9/1), Recuerdame (14/1), Dutugamunu (14/1), Gokotta (20/1), Attentive (33/1)

LORD CLENAGHCASTLE gets another chance to show he's still capable of winning races at this level. George Boughey handicap newcomer Banbrook Boy would represent a possible big threat if the betting speaks in his favour. Inclement Weather and Recuerdame are others to consider.
