Forecasts

Cullenwaine (4/1), Brandt (5/1), General Hubble (11/2), Joe's Turn (6/1), C'est Rien (13/2), Room To Roam (17/2), Gladiatorial (10/1), The Holmeister (11/1), Tomas O Maille (12/1), Down The Park (20/1), Ivar The Boneless (40/1)

C'EST RIEN looked rejuvenated by the switch to chasing when successful at Tramore a fortnight ago and with that in mind, she can follow up. Joe's Turn and General Hubble head the opposition.
