Forecasts

Celestial Force (5/4), Drumlee Watar (15/8), Easyrun De Vassy (11/4), Ballyegan Hero (7/2), Tobefair (13/2)

Impossible to rule any of the quintet out but preference is for DRUMLEE WATAR, who completed a handicap/novice hat-trick over staying trips this summer, and having given another good account of himself when a close third at Bangor 3 weeks ago, he's taken to score again back up in distance. Celestial Force just shades the vote for the forecast spot, ahead of Debra Hamer's stable-star Tobefair.
