Forecasts

Er Dancer (1/1), Handy Headon (6/4), Clounts Glory (15/2), Whisper In Court (10/1), Born Famous (66/1), Pegase Amour (80/1)

This lacks depth and is likely to be fought out between ER DANCER and Handy Headon. The latter arrives on the back of a smooth success at Down Royal, but it's the first named who has the best form and takes marginal preference. Clounts Glory is also worthy of consideration.
