Forecasts

Elusive Prince (2/1), The Mediator (10/3), Clonshire River (4/1), Nowwhatdoyouthink (4/1), Finnicky Filly (12/1), Has Me Dreaming (14/1), Jumble Light (20/1), Pepperpots (28/1), Pearl Of Grange (33/1), Ovidstown Hill (33/1), Pondicherry (50/1), Tom Sarah Evelyn (50/1), Newport (125/1), El Bello (125/1), Doitforjane Sid (150/1), Mullanour (200/1), Duffy's All Set (200/1)

This can go to ELUSIVE PRINCE, who acquitted himself well at Tramore last time and remains low mileage. Clonshire River and The Mediator rate the principal dangers.
