Forecasts

Warazam (13/8), Fleetfootsoldier (9/4), Tero D'rosa (6/1), Explorers Way (10/1), Sottsands (11/1), Roderick (12/1), Nibras Rainbow (14/1), Lady Delila (16/1), Sea View Lady (16/1), Shuyak (18/1), Rock Basher (20/1), Dont Do Dramas (20/1), Mogwli (25/1), Goldsmith (25/1), Churchill Gale (40/1), Reponse Finale (80/1), The Black Stuff (100/1)

Lots with chances but WARAZAM rates just the pick of the weights on the back of her recent Clonmel second and can gain a deserved breakthrough victory at the chief expense of in-form pair Sea View Lady and Tero d'Rosa who can chase home the selection in that order. Sottsands completes the shortlist.
