Forecasts

Bard Of Avon (6/5), Liltia (5/2), Hypnosis (7/1), Kaptain Bay (9/1), Another Night (14/1), Dr Waksman (16/1), Jack McNamara (22/1), Collaborative (22/1), Milverton (150/1), Florance (200/1), Sea Of Beauty (250/1)

LILTIA took her form to a new level when runner-up at Navan a month ago and a repeat of that may well suffice for her in-form yard. This trip seems sure to suit Bard of Avon so he's a huge threat, while Hypnosis surely has a bigger performance in him given the connections he represents.
