Forecasts

Havana Notion (9/2), Beaumadier (9/2), Rathbranchurch (5/1), Sneddy Eddie (5/1), Autumnal Breeze (6/1), So Majestic (8/1), My Girl Sioux (8/1), Distillate (11/1), American In Paris (12/1), Coco Hill (12/1), Spirit Of Eagles (14/1), Prove It (16/1), Zaza Zut (16/1), Las Cuatro (33/1), Jumra (50/1)

SNEDDY EDDIE looked reinvented as a sprinter when successful at Sligo last month and his revised mark may well be within reach. So Majestic and Coco Hill are just a couple of potential threats.
