Forecasts

Mordor (15/8), Dollar Value (85/40), Instant Tendance (7/1), Global Export (9/1), Sir Allen (9/1), Semblance Of Order (14/1), The Big Chap (16/1), Legacy Thor (40/1)

GLOBAL EXPORT holds the edge on form and arrives fit from the Flat so gets the nod at the chief expense of Gordon Elliott's Mordor who rates a big threat on the back of his recent Galway second. Semblance of Order and Sir Allen appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.
