Forecasts

Fly To Glory (6/4), Clonmacash (5/1), Ferrari Desert (13/2), Man Is King (7/1), Devil's Angel (15/2), Cross Border (15/2), Half Nutz (14/1), Higher Kingdom (14/1), Roderick (25/1), Bucky Larson (33/1), Superior Force (40/1), Spitfire Fighter (66/1), Jackandthefox (100/1)

If FLY TO GLORY is in the same form as when landing a C&D handicap earlier in the month he looks weighted to win again. Higher Kingdom heads the dangers along with Ado McGuinness pair Clonmacash, who ran well here on Wednesday, and Half Nutz.
