Forecasts

Just Before Dawn (1/5), Whispering Affair (6/1), Killone (7/1), Picture Painter (12/1), Lorenzo (16/1), Just Brooke (50/1), Beyond The Glen (50/1), Registan (50/1), Il Sassicaia (80/1), Crookofdevon (200/1)

This really does look a weak contest and an ideal opportunity for JUST BEFORE DAWNto break his maiden with his bumper and hurdles form being far in advance of anything that the rest of the field have produced. The Crawford duo of Whispering Affair and Lorenzo are of interest for forecast purposes with Killone looking capable of building on his last run.
