Forecasts

Sixandahalf (3/1), Enjoy The Dream (7/2), The Names Jock (9/2), Jesse Evans (11/2), Royal Eagle (11/2), Fad Eadrainn (13/2), Seattle Creek (14/1), Dubai Leader (66/1), San Martino (66/1), Questionare (80/1), Make No Plans (150/1), Charli Sands (200/1)

SIXANDAHALF looks to have more to offer in this sphere so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways after his excellent Listowel second last time out. Course-winner The Names Jock could emerge as the main danger, with Enjoy The Dream and Royal Eagle also firmly in the picture.
