Forecasts

Macinamillion (9/4), Redwood Queen (4/1), Run For Harry (4/1), Mister Wilson (9/2), Pidoyne (6/1), Oakley (8/1), Inchiquin Star (9/1), Gwan Tadhg (11/1), Timeless Piece (12/1), Aussie Warrior (14/1), Lorca (22/1), One Cool Poet (28/1), Rushford (50/1)

OAKLEY is well handicapped on his Flat form and having shaped better than the result at Tipperary, he can confirm that point here. Redwood Queen and Run For Harry look to be the pick of the opposition.
