Forecasts

One Boss (9/2), Morning Approach (11/2), Mere Accountant (11/2), Perfect Poise (15/2), Darkdeserthighway (8/1), Church Mountain (10/1), Akmaam (10/1), Solar Breeze (14/1), Kodiac Prince (14/1), Exquisite Acclaim (14/1), Mulgrave (16/1), Dromantine (18/1), Ha Long Bay (25/1), Boadicea Belle (25/1), Zahee (50/1), Wild Mountain (150/1)

PERFECT POISE only just failed on her second go in a handicap at Navan 2 weeks ago and makes plenty of appeal off 1 lb lower. Morning Approach, Mere Accountant and One Boss make up the shortlist.
