Forecasts

Ceanndana (11/10), Eagle Terrace (13/2), Lady Kate (17/2), Cloughroe (10/1), Ardaghs Choice (11/1), Hand Over Fist (12/1), Game And Glory (12/1), Mont Beuvray (14/1), Irish Envoy (18/1), Cosmic Blizzard (25/1), Fr Humphrey (33/1)

CEANNDANA continues to thrive over hurdles/fences and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Eagle Terrace has been given a chance by the handicapper after a respectable comeback at Cartmel and is next best ahead of Hand Over Fist, who's open to improvement up in trip on handicap bow.
