Forecasts

Reina Del Mar (5/2), Royal Eagle (4/1), Baltic Bird (4/1), Glan (15/2), Walking On Glass (8/1), Barrier (9/1), Barnacullia (14/1), War Correspondent (16/1), Teed Up (28/1), Peckham Springs (40/1), The Black Tiger (50/1), Morph Speed (80/1), Firstman (100/1)

Lots with chances but Gordon Elliott looks to have a strong hand and his ROYAL EAGLE gets the vote on the back of a good Tramore third. In-form stablemate Barrier could emerge as the main threat with handily-weighted duo Peckham Springs and Walking On Glass also worthy of respect.
