Forecasts

Cordouan (5/4), Dynamic Force (10/3), Spanish Tenor (11/2), Rick Dalton (10/1), Pinball Wizard (10/1), Chou Chou (12/1), Guest Star (12/1), Asisaid (14/1), Mindthegap (20/1), Men Of Dreams (25/1), Decorated Girl (33/1), Jupiter Rock (40/1)

A low-key start to proceedings but CORDOUAN was well backed on return at Dundalk last week and although he disappointed, he's fancied to snap a long losing run back on turf at the expense of Spanish Tenor, who was below form on his yard debut but should make more of an impact back in this company. Dynamic Force can edge out Rick Dalton for third.
