Forecasts
Cowper Hall (13/8), Butchers Bill (4/1), Seskin Flash (4/1), Mighty Soldier (5/1), Joe's Turn (7/1), Makfils (8/1), Silent Flight (12/1), Lariat (12/1), Gustavo Goodway (14/1), Kiln Time (20/1), Esticky End (20/1), King In Love (20/1), Quinn The Eskimo (25/1), Princess Fiadh (25/1), Kir Royal Blou (25/1), Calypso Bluebird (25/1), Tom Kelly (33/1), High Honour (66/1), Fanoir (66/1)
MIGHTY SOLDIER ran a cracking race behind a thriving winner here last month, faring best of those held up, and is fancied to come out on top this time. Cowper Hall is very interesting having joined Gavin Cromwell following a good display at Down Royal when well backed. Kir Royal Blou is another to consider.
