Forecasts
Vyta Du Roc (15/8), Ballymalin (5/2), Russe Blanc (10/3), Southfield Theatre (7/1), Lamb Or Cod (12/1)
VYTA DU ROC will enjoy conditions here and if the return to softer ground or first-time cheekpieces see him somewhere near his best form, he will be tough to beat for a yard in flying form. Russe Blanc is another who won't mind the testing ground but Southfield Theatre could prove the main danger to the selection now that the handicapper has him on a more realistic handicap mark.
