Forecasts

Written Broadcast (4/1), Local Bay (9/2), Al Suil Eile (9/2), Galileo Glass (6/1), Bobby Joe Leg (13/2), Desert Boots (7/1), Hilary's Boy (14/1), Ostilio (14/1), Kodi Gold (16/1), Mi Capricho (20/1), Thewaytothestars (25/1), Another Bertie (33/1), City Central (40/1)

AL SUIL EILE needs things to drop right but there's no denying that he's lurking on a handy mark and, having caught the eye last time at Wolverhampton where he put in good late work from a compromising position, the 7-y-o could be the answer to this open-looking handicap. The in-form Written Broadcast is likely to be in the thick of things once again, while Bobby Joe Leg and Hilary's Boy are others to consider.
