Forecasts

Ano Manna (4/1), Skontonovski (4/1), Bobby K (6/1), Pink Socks (8/1), Portmagee (8/1), Chimeric (17/2), Danesfort (10/1), Run The Jewels (10/1), Ms Eagleton (10/1), Sir John Monash (14/1), Well Suited (16/1), Together Aclaim (16/1), Deuteronomy (25/1), Qaabil (25/1), Talking Tough (40/1), Cant Catch Camacho (100/1)

SKONTONOVSKI had been given a chance by the handicapper and took advantage when returning to winning ways at Dundalk last week. Able to race off a 2 lb lower mark here, he makes fair appeal in his follow-up bid. Ano Manna and Portmagee head the list of dangers.
