Forecasts

Unioniste (4/7), Carraig Mor (7/4), Cinevator (25/1), Distracted (25/1), Trueflyingcolours (50/1), Minmore Grey (125/1)

Only UNIONISTE and Carraig Mor can seriously be considered for win purposes and ready preference is for the former, who had been running well in this sphere before finding the opposition too hot at the Cheltenham Festival. His main rival has always been a talented horse and can give him something to think about.
