Forecasts

Darkdeserthighway (10/3), Instrumental (7/2), Skontonovski (4/1), The Mpex Kid (6/1), Cedar Rapids (7/1), The Bog Bank (9/1), Khafaaq (11/1), Trueba (20/1), Lovesome Dove (25/1), Aristovic (28/1), Patrick Street (33/1), Scarlet Angel (33/1), Cisne (40/1), Sandyman (66/1)

THE MPEX KID is in good form and won on his last run over C&D in April from a similar mark so could be the way to go. Instrumental should go close again, along with old rival Darkdeserthighway under Colin Keane, and The Bog Bank.
