Forecasts

L' Evangeliste (7/4), Mossy Way (2/1), Road Exile (5/1), Fortunes Told (5/1), Khmer (6/1), I Started A Joke (8/1), The Night Agent (12/1), Gillane (14/1), Jericho Du Fenoir (16/1), Ballykinlar (28/1), Beckistine (28/1), James The Brave (40/1), Amberjack (50/1), Work Place (66/1), Rusty Finure (100/1), Lady Mamie (100/1)

ROAD EXILE has joined Gordon Elliott since landing a point and looks the obvious choice for all that Mossy Way sets a reasonable standard based on what he achieved at Fairyhouse on debut. L'Evangelist is another one to consider having got the job done on his only start between the flags.
