Forecasts

Run For Harry (4/1), So They Tell Me (4/1), Wrecking Ball Paul (5/1), Mary's Pride (9/1), Missus Beeton (9/1), Frontline Worker (9/1), Club Manager (11/1), Magic Olinger (11/1), Teagarden Jazz (11/1), Herculaneum (12/1), Tell Us This (16/1), Jinxs Link (20/1), Solo Flight (20/1), Johnny Cigar (25/1), Baltinglass Hill (25/1), Kinbara Hills (33/1), Joke Dancer (33/1), Falak (66/1), Mullaghmore Wave (100/1)

It might be worth siding with CLUB MANAGER, who gets a handy age allowance on this handicap debut and he has to be capable of better in this sphere given his Flat ability. Wrecking Ball Paul figures on a tempting mark and is a danger, while market support for So They Tell Me would look ominous.
