Forecasts

Reserve Judgement (3/1), Whatsyourstatus (7/2), Ladiam (5/1), Aliunde (5/1), Alfieri (6/1), Tullyhogue Fort (7/1), Ballyglass Beauty (10/1), Junior Alliance (12/1), Now Go Soldier Go (12/1), Cullenwaine (18/1), Paidi's Passion (18/1), Chief Seattle (20/1), Tullig Wood (25/1), Champagne Auction (33/1), Jesina (33/1), Finding Freedom (40/1)

This looks a good race for the grade with WHATSYOURSTATUS just about the most persuasive option given he arrives on the back of a chase win from a higher mark than this. Reserve Judgement and Tullyhogue Fort are just a couple of potential threats.
