Forecasts

Ankud (1/1), I Wont Back Down (5/2), Fenway Park (7/2), Desert Halo (9/2), Young Lucy (9/2), Mount Frisco (15/2), Smokey Putnum (14/1), Jay Pee M (16/1), Kilbrin Rocco (25/1), Ghost Jury (33/1), Tramps Like Us (40/1), Farmhand Lily (40/1), Dunany Shore (50/1), My Good Pal (125/1)

ANKUD has shown enough in two starts to think he's probably up to winning an average bumper, so he's preferred to Fenway Park, who looks the pick of the newcomers. I Wont Back Down was strong in the betting when sixth at Thurles on debut and is expected to improve.
