Forecasts

Strategic Fortune (11/4), Claddaghduff (9/2), No Such Luck (9/2), Sun Festival (9/2), Assembled (9/2), Captain St Lucifer (10/1), Cirrus (20/1), Triple M (25/1), Harbour Project (28/1), Christines Angel (33/1), Red Bravo (50/1), Meet Me There (66/1), Highland Lass (200/1)

A chance is taken on the fitness of ASSEMBLED, as he's well treated starting out for new trainer Mark Rimell and should be able to obtain a handy position from the inside stall. Claddaghduff, who is unexposed, and No Such Luck rate dangers assuming they aren't too inconvenienced by wide draws.
