Forecasts

Get Real (1/1), Chanting Hill (9/4), Slainte Mhor (13/2), Jean Genie (8/1), Connard (25/1)

A case can be made for all of these but JEAN GENIE showed the benefit of a wind op when an excellent recent third at Taunton and is taken to gain a deserved first win off a 1 lb lower mark. C&D winner Chanting Hill rates a big threat, especially if keeping mistakes to a minimum this time, with Slainte Mhor also well in the mix on the back of his plucky Ayr victory.
