Forecasts

It's Time Again (4/1), Evans Secret (9/2), Whatyouwant (7/1), Jacks Fancy (7/1), Townhill Penny (17/2), Johnny Cakes (9/1), Roscomroe (10/1), Castlehill Boy (12/1), Stellar Stow (12/1), Pettigo (12/1), Winter Carnival (16/1), Kilashee (16/1), True Or False (20/1), Mont Beuvray (22/1), Oskar High (22/1), The Vegas Raider (25/1), Land Jet (28/1), Military Hill (50/1), Justakeg (100/1)

IT'S TIME AGAIN boasts a good record at this course, which includes a success in a division of this race in 2022, and she is the most appealing candidate. If able to build on the improvement he showed when runner-up here last time, Roscomroe should have a part to play, while The Vegas Raider and Whatyouwant are place money contenders.
