Forecasts

Comfort Line (7/2), Doctor Grace (9/2), Tiffany Mae (6/1), Akmaam (13/2), Dromore Glory (7/1), Pandion Power (17/2), Smaoineamh Sile (9/1), Storm Eric (12/1), Morning Soldier (12/1), He Knows When (16/1), Cannes Do (22/1), Angel Of The Sea (25/1), Crystal's Heir (28/1), You Are The Deal (33/1), Sovereign City (33/1), Highland Mist (50/1)

DOCTOR GRACE is well treated and hasn't been having the rub of the green, so it's worth taking the chance that everything drops right for her here. Comfort Line arrives on the back of a good third in a big field over C&D a week ago and looks an obvious danger, while Tiffany Mae is worthy of respect.
