Forecasts

Eriskay (16/5), Livingston Range (10/3), Hero Of The Hour (4/1), Theriverrunsdeep (6/1), Grand Citadel (6/1), Step Back In Time (7/1), Platino Bianco (8/1), Elliott (11/1), Sunday Sovereign (12/1), Seas And Oceans (14/1), Wayne R Walker (16/1), Viva Voce (20/1), Conversant (20/1), Grigal (25/1), Net A Porter Queen (25/1), Cool Dan (50/1), Jackie Brown (50/1), Born Invincible (80/1)

ERISKAY arrives on a long losing run but rates the pick of the weights on the back of her good recent Gowran third so edges the vote. Step Back In Time is another weighted to have a big say and next on the list ahead of Theriverrunsdeep, Viva Voce and Conversant.
