Forecasts

Pockley (5/2), Noisy Night (4/1), Embour (6/1), Abolish (13/2), Bellagio Man (10/1), Shallow Hal (12/1), Ballyconneely Bay (14/1), Straits Of Moyle (16/1), Ramon Di Loria (18/1), Count D'Orsay (20/1), War In Heaven (25/1), Ballyare (33/1), Captain's Bar (80/1)

EMBOUR has been in terrific form lately and, such was the ease in which he powered away at Wolverhampton last time, he could be up to landing a quick hat-trick in a race that should be run to suit his style. Another bold showing from the strong-travelling Bellagio Man is on the cards and Shallow Hal deserves respect on the back of his all-the-way success at Chelmsford recently.
