Forecasts

Mythical Rock (11/2), Purring Along (11/2), Nibras Rainbow (6/1), Rock Etoile (7/1), Perry Mason (8/1), Manhattan Dandy (8/1), Sunday Sovereign (10/1), Mr Mills (11/1), Hell Left Loose (12/1), Our Dagger (14/1), Half Nutz (16/1), Carvalhal (16/1), Sheamus Seimhiu (25/1), Romantic War (40/1), Sakakawea (40/1), She's Ideal (66/1)

This is wide open but NIBRAS RAINBOW rates just the pick of the weights on the back of his recent Roscommon second so is taken to end a long losing sequence. In-form duo Sunday Sovereign and Perry Mason are next on the list and can chase him home in that order. Mythical Rock and Purring Along complete the shortlist.
