Forecasts

Change Sings (11/4), Magnanimous Mehmus (3/1), Toughen Up (4/1), Empty Metaphor (6/1), Monitola (13/2), Fort Vega (17/2), Portreath (12/1), Winston Spencer (16/1), News At Dawn (40/1), Goldmoyne (125/1), Teejaydee (125/1), Get Set Jet (200/1)

Paddy Twomey's CHANGE SINGS gets the nod to build on a promising debut run at Dundalk recently and prove too strong for Empty Metaphor, who should find this easier than the Group 3 he contested on his reappearance. Toughen Up may prove best of the rest.
