Forecasts

Purple King (11/8), Highway Companion (10/3), Cedar Hill (11/2), Wise Coco (8/1), Book Of Invasions (17/2), Needs To Be Seen (10/1), Rukwa (16/1), Golden Town (18/1)

This looks wide open. Highway Companion is open to plenty more improvement this term and looks a danger to all if fit, but may require a step back up in trip to be seen to best effect. Purple King will have his supporters for a yard that do well here but maybe it's worth chancing CEDAR HILL on debut for his new yard. He looked useful when scoring at Punchestown last year and maybe his new trainer can find the key to him. Golden Town has no secrets from the handicapper but goes well fresh, and could be each-way value.
