Forecasts

Old Peculier (9/4), Lucky Question (9/4), Wajaaha (4/1), Not Just Any Eagle (9/2), Oakley (8/1), Blackstone Cliff (12/1), Dinamine (16/1), Cursory Exam (25/1), Jazz Dreamers (25/1), Party Moon (25/1), Ciao Adios (33/1), Corballis Flyer (33/1), Crystal Pool (40/1), Wayne R Walker (50/1), Bronze River (50/1), Shall I Walk (66/1), Shimmerz (66/1)

WAJAAHA has been knocking on the door of late and he is taken to deservedly get his head back in front. He may have most to fear from Not Just Any Eagle, who wasn't disgraced on his all-weather debut over C&D last month. Old Peculier is third choice ahead of Lucky Question, while Oakley could also have a part to play, provided he takes to this surface and is able to put a below-par effort at Navan last time behind him.
