Forecasts

Rivas Rob Roy (9/4), Arlo's Sunshine (16/5), Split Elevens (10/3), Cap D'Antibes (9/2), My Sand Boy (10/1), Doonbeg Farmer (16/1), On The Nose (40/1)

RIVAS ROB ROY took a step back in the right direction last time and his track record speaks for itself, so he takes preference over Arlo's Sunshine, who ran well here last time. My Sand Boy is another to consider after shaping better than the result at Newcastle.
