Forecasts

Trishuli River (16/5), Ozark Daze (10/3), Convincing (6/1), Autocrat (13/2), Tinsioux (9/1), Sinbad My Dad (11/1), Preparations (12/1), Cherry Pink (14/1), Solomon (14/1), Grey Fable (18/1), Alto Sax (20/1), Serengeti Sunrise (25/1), Church Mountain (33/1), Dromore Glory (40/1), Gracesolution (50/1), North Winterfell (50/1)

This is wide open so it could pay to side with CONVINCING to bounce back in style and capitalise on a lenient mark having not been at his best in the mud at the Curragh last time. Trishuli River heads the list of dangers on the back of a good recent third here, while others to consider in a competitive event include Sinbad My Dad, Tinsioux and Preparations.
