Forecasts

Aspurofthemoment (4/1), Aclass (5/1), The Big Cloud (11/2), Prince Quattro (11/2), Falcon Park (6/1), Ar Nos Na Gaoithe (8/1), Tingarran Express (8/1), Beeverstown Place (9/1), Cramers Valley (10/1), Thats All (14/1), Eikonix (14/1), Marine Ranger (20/1), Drum Roll (25/1), Sheer Raz (25/1), The Reel Martello (28/1), Petit Dejeuner (33/1), Flier (40/1), Raby Mere (50/1)

Plenty are in with a shout but PRINCE QUATTRO is fancied to follow up Tuesday's win at Down Royal. Beeverstown Place could emerge as the main danger off a handy-looking mark with Tingarran Express, Falcon Park and The Big Cloud all in the picture too.
