Forecasts

Linden Arden (11/8), Spy (15/8), Rauzan (5/2), Drumgill (11/2), Hardy Diamond (13/2), Ankud (10/1), Rockstown Girl (12/1)

SPY ran a cracker in a good handicap at Cork on Monday and can open his account in this sphere if backing that up quickly. Rauzan is on a 4-timer and is feared most ahead of the Gordon Elliott pair Hardy Diamond and Ankud.
