Forecasts

Corballis Flyer (3/1), Nyla Rua (10/3), Shona Mea (10/3), Not Just Any Eagle (17/2), Sunset Nova (9/1), Chimeric (14/1), Two Metres Apart (14/1), Kalaroun (16/1), Kratos (16/1), Von Krolock (22/1), Bardo Contiguo (22/1), Leclerc (33/1), Victory Lantern (33/1), Cousin Shay (40/1), Deluca Chop (50/1)

NOT JUST ANY EAGLE was well backed when spoiling his chance by pulling too hard at Fairyhouse last week and could be worth another chance down in trip. Nyla Rua and Deluca Chop are a couple of the dangers.
