Forecasts

Daonethatgotaway (11/4), Tribal Moon (11/2), Morning Approach (11/2), Tara Power (8/1), Storm Eric (8/1), Exceeding (9/1), Draiocht (11/1), Ragtime Milly (16/1), The Bog Bank (20/1), Profit Surge (20/1), Manhattan Dandy (22/1), Saoirses Lulaby (25/1), Hasiyna (28/1), Deuteronomy (40/1), Accwest (50/1)

The vote goes to STORM ERIC, who has slipped to an attractive mark and should come on for his spin here a fortnight ago when returning from a four-month break. Exceeding is still a maiden following 16 attempts but produced arguably his best effort yet when when third over C&D last time and he will be a threat if able to build on that. Tara Power is third choice.
