Forecasts

Letsbeclearaboutit (5/4), Senecia (5/1), Perceval Legallois (5/1), Solness (15/2), Power Of Pause (8/1), Mighty Tom (10/1), Lucid Dreams (12/1)

LETSBECLEARBOUTIT made the perfect start over fences when easilly going in at Gowran and can take this step up in class in his stride at the chief expense of Listowel-winner Power of Pause, who also has more to offer. Perceval Legallois and Lucid Dreams need considering too in an intriguing contest.
