Forecasts

Coumshingaun (11/4), Miss Black Jack (4/1), Mercurial (4/1), Polar Bear (5/1), Ramiro (11/2), Winemaker (8/1), Tai Sing Yeh (8/1), Mount Ruapehu (10/1), Rumbled Again (14/1), Dream Today (14/1), Louiescall (20/1), Theriverrunsdeep (20/1), Charming Lady (33/1), Dragon Of Malta (66/1), Florence Thompson (80/1)

POLAR BEAR took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Roscommon 3 weeks ago and is potentially well treated if building on that. Mercurial arrives on the back of a career-best win at the Curragh and is next best ahead of Coumshingaun.
