Forecasts

Neptunes Staircase (13/8), Telecon (10/3), Volantis (4/1), Endless Pursuit (8/1), The Mediator (8/1), Taymura (8/1), Cast A Spell (14/1), Star With A Spark (66/1), Boxing Great (100/1), Night Of Peace (125/1), Casino Loutraki (125/1), Dark Treat (150/1), Happyhuntingground (150/1), Mighty Brave (150/1)

ENDLESS PURSUIT didn't show much in a pair of bumpers but she shaped with some promise at Leopardstown on Flat debut so could be the answer in a very ordinary maiden. The Mediator is next best ahead of Neptunes Staircase.
