Forecasts

Pride Of Place (3/1), Dorans Law (9/2), Ceroc (5/1), Fairyhill Run (17/2), Sea Aster (9/1), Hand Over Fist (10/1), Ik's Man (11/1), Sam Magee (11/1), Gorgeous Suspect (12/1), Riggs (22/1), Hascoeur Clermont (40/1)

PRIDE OF PLACE could be a staying handicap chaser to follow now he's got his head in front and can follow up his Tipperary win. Sea Aster, runner-up last year and a winner at Perth last week, is a player, while Sam Magee could do better on his second run back.
