Forecasts

Chance Another One (4/1), Garnacho (4/1), Arctic Gale (9/2), Billy Lee Swagger (8/1), Duke Silver (11/1), Birmingham Alabama (11/1), Another Choice (12/1), Midnight Moonshine (12/1), Ballystone (14/1), Savante (14/1), Coole Cherry (14/1), Bitofajokelike (16/1), Coral River (20/1), Young Lucy (20/1), Howdoyalikeherhome (20/1), Nytol (20/1), Greatness Awaits (25/1), Hitak (25/1), Heliko Conti (33/1), Chinx Of Light (33/1), Caesar Rock (33/1), Macgiloney (40/1), West Cork Wildway (40/1)

Emmet Mullins holds a strong hand here. CHANCE ANOTHER ONE had lots to spare on his recent first outing for the yard and could easily still be ahead of his mark despite a 20 lb hike. Stablemate Arctic Gale ran a cracker here on Wednesday and should go well if in similar form. Howdoyalikeherhome, Nytol and Duke Silver are also shortlisted in this ultra-competitive race.
