Forecasts

Ballythomas (10/3), Vincent Row (4/1), Bridge End (5/1), Major Ridge (5/1), Settledoutofcourt (11/2), Landmarque (7/1), Oscar Lateen (28/1)

This race revolves around BALLYTHOMAS, and assuming he can repeat his improved form from last time, an 8lb rise shouldn't be enough to stop him following up with forecast conditions likely to see the ground riding very similarly. Settledoutofcourt was better than these rivals in his prime, and from a reduced mark of 102, this veteran might be the best option for the forecast with his trainer amongst the winners at Ayr on Monday. 1. Ballythomas 2. Settledoutofcourt 3. Major Ridge
