Forecasts

Bearwithmenow (4/1), Rule Of June (5/1), Seskin Flyer (7/1), O Mio Babbino (17/2), Rudy Catrail (10/1), Double Windsor (10/1), Agirlcalledchloe (10/1), Shantou Sisu (11/1), Quarry Lil (12/1), Golden Glen (14/1), Tiantu (18/1), Eagle Terrace (20/1), Trickey Trix (20/1), Elegant Dan (22/1), Danegeld (25/1)

RULE OF JUNE teed herself up nicely for a return to chasing when third over hurdles at Punchestown 11 days ago and, with potential to do better still at this sort of trip in this sphere, all looks set fair for a big run. Bearwithmenow, Quarry Lil and Trickey Trix head up the dangers.
