Forecasts

Faro Island (5/2), Drucker (7/2), Cala Bonita (4/1), Ard Na Mara (7/1), Trishuli River (8/1), Theophilos (16/1), Grey Fable (20/1), Clementines Dream (20/1), Jess Abi (20/1), Everylittlestep (22/1), Candidly (22/1), Vivacious Lady (22/1), Purple Sky (22/1), Yup Bro (25/1), Boogie Inthejungle (33/1), Antoine De Paris (40/1), Storm Eric (50/1)

DRUCKER has a handy draw and might be the way to go if over his exertions here on Tuesday night. Cala Bonita has really found form over C&D in recent months and is second choice ahead of Faro Island, who is drawn wide but is a 3-y-o with a progressive profile in handicaps.
