Forecasts

Weloof (6/5), Pyrrhic Dancer (4/1), Marisitta (11/2), Brave Display (13/2), Big Narstie (8/1), Kenstone (9/1), Kananga (18/1), Retirement Beckons (20/1), Brazen Arrow (22/1), Real Quiz (50/1), Glory And Gold (66/1), Ard Mhacha (125/1)

BRAVE DISPLAY found only one too good here last time and with this return to further also a likely plus he is taken to bag another course success. In-form duo Retirement Beckons and Pyrrhic Dancer bring solid credentials to the table too and can chase home Deborah Faulkner's veteran in that order.
