Forecasts

Walnut Beach (15/8), Dubai Clover (9/2), Zoffany Bay (11/2), Sky Legend (13/2), Enquire Within (15/2), Annecherie (17/2), Bear Claws (9/1), Global Export (10/1), Elzaamsan (12/1), Craic Eile (25/1), Kingsofthemidlands (25/1), Chutzpal (25/1), Mastermind (33/1), Ben Alexander (33/1)

WALNUT BEACH looked a little unlucky not to finish closer when second at Clonmel last week and is taken to finally open his account on the Flat. John McConnell's Dubai Clover has recorded good in-frame efforts on her last 2 Flat outings and is second choice ahead of Annecherie.
