Forecasts

Pray Tell (4/5), Next Week (11/2), Qaasid (8/1), High City Roller (10/1), Kinnagrelly Boy (11/1), Augusta George (16/1), Tom Sarah Evelyn (20/1), Littletwinklestar (25/1), Truly Elegant (28/1), Jewel Of Windsor (28/1), Vidisha (33/1), Half Montlioux (80/1), Joe Hannigan (100/1), Little Lark (100/1), Bright Start (150/1), Ryoma (250/1)

PRAY TELL was better than the result when mid-division in a Galway handicap last time and repeat of the form he showed when placed on his 4 starts prior to that should be good enough here. High City Roller has some fair form to his name and should figure prominently, while Qaasid's Flat ability suggests he should be up to making his presence felt on what is effectively his hurdle debut (unseated first on previous attempt).
