Forecasts

Cardinal Zin (10/3), McTenett (4/1), King Of Gosford (4/1), Kiki Roberts (4/1), Spanish Battleship (13/2), Seskin Road (7/1), Tai Tam Bay (9/1), Bid For Chester (12/1), Spicy Water (12/1), Si Senior (16/1), Maria Land (16/1), Rhasidat (66/1), Mount Whitney (100/1)

CARDINAL ZIN offered something to work on when better than mid-field in a 18-runner maiden at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago so could be the answer. Mctenett is a newcomer to note, while Kiki Roberts has the best form, though the drop in trip may not be ideal.
