Forecasts

Glyndwr (6/5), Independent Expert (5/2), Albion Power (13/2), Rock Etoile (10/1), Benavente (11/1), Tofino (22/1), Heart Of Darkness (28/1), Georg Zhukov (28/1), Variance (33/1), Port Louis (33/1), Hallelujah Rose (40/1), Nammos (50/1), Brosna Green (66/1), Wonder Spirit (200/1)

INDEPENEDENT EXPERT rates the clear pick at these weights and also arrives on the back of an emphatic success here so looks the way to go. Recent C&D scorer Glyndwr is feared most ahead of in-form trio Albion Power, Benavente and Port Louis.
