Forecasts

Gardiners Hill (4/1), Hepijeu (5/1), Dreamsoftheatre (5/1), Royal Tara (11/2), Hey Bill (13/2), Agamemmon (8/1), Muckle Roe (8/1), The Happy Chappy (12/1), Little Windmill (12/1)

Last year's winner, The Happy Chappy, and Royal Tara represent yard's who have ended barren spells in the last couple of days and they are worth noting for market moves given the questions they have to answer here in terms of wellbeing. Dreamsoftheatre is undeniably well handicapped but he is hard to rely on nowadays. Agamemnon looks a tricky ride but he has won for today's rider and the stable have a good record in this. Hepijeu arrives in good nick, but GARDINERS HILL breezed to victory last week and remains on the right side of the handicapper despite his penalty.
