Forecasts

Charles Fort (11/8), Strike Zone (6/4), Unionville (11/2), That's No Joke (8/1), A La Dure (18/1), Kc Bear (33/1), Doitforjill Ronnie (80/1), Sunrise Angel (100/1), Big Bill (125/1), St Gobnait's Charm (300/1)

STRIKE ZONE caught the eye when finishing third at Navan on debut, doing his best work late, and can open his account with improvement on the way up in trip. Charles Fort is the obvious danger.
