Forecasts

Hidden Land (2/1), Pro Bono (4/1), Tastyee (4/1), Dinamine (4/1), Say It So (7/1), Maura's Gift (7/1), Ciao Adios (8/1), Contrapposto (8/1), Tasayad (11/1), Final Endeavour (20/1), Destivelle (40/1)

Although DINAMINE has yet to win he hasn't been with the John McConnell stable for long and his recent fourth in a big field at Navan suggests a first win may not be too far away. Tastyee may provide the chief threat ahead of Say It So and Friday's Down Royal winner Hidden Land.
