Forecasts

Tarsus (2/1), Perfect Judgement (18/5), Manhattan Dreamer (4/1), Mint Man (6/1), Ohailbhic (6/1), Go Girl Go (9/1), Puturhandstogether (25/1), Posh Maisie (33/1), Coulstar (40/1), Ecoutez Bien (80/1)

A few of these offer potential but TARSUS holds the clear edge on form so is fancied to concede weight all round and bag a second success at the track. Debut C&D fourth Manhattan Dreamer is next on the list, with Ohailbhic also in the mix for place purposes.
