Forecasts

Rauzan (15/8), Grann's Boy (10/3), Macinamillion (4/1), Tannery Park (9/2), Charlie Luciano (5/1), Charlie Darling (13/2), Red Secret (12/1), War Thunder (18/1), Miss Aytan (22/1), Craic Eile (22/1), Jake Peter (22/1), Wild Shot (25/1), Whispering Hopes (25/1), Nomenclature (28/1), Kincade (33/1)

The race arguably revolves around RAUZAN, who has improved in leaps and bounds over hurdles and looks thrown-in on what he achieved on Thursday. If the selection doesn't take his chance, Grann's Boy looks best placed to take advantage.
