Forecasts

C'est Ta Chance (8/13), Trim Castle (15/8), William Munny (6/1), Lough Owel (8/1), Ivybrook (12/1), Good Deal (50/1), Champagne Venture (125/1), Mr Bezi (150/1)

C'EST TA CHANCE was impressive in landing his point and he's joined top connections since, so he's fancied to make a successful Rules debut at the likely expense of Trim Castle, who fits a similar mould. Lough Owel is also of interest with improvement anticipated.
