Forecasts

Chopsticks (5/2), Porsche Lad (10/3), Secret Rock (4/1), Tatum (6/1), Fascinating Shadow (6/1), Gallo Dell Cielo (7/1), Highland King (16/1), Creative Dancer (18/1), Crypto Crash (25/1), Jawhary (40/1), Picpoul (40/1), Zentopia (50/1), Tartaraghan (50/1), Pare Of Brown Eyes (50/1), Patrick Joseph (125/1)

Preference is for TATUM, who performed with credit in handicaps at the Curragh and Gowran last month following a six-month absence. She is on a workable mark and is taken to see off Chopsticks and Gallo Dell Cielo.
