Forecasts

Where It All Began (7/4), Barbary Master (9/4), Mercury Lane (4/1), Robinstown (10/1), What An Ocean (10/1), Clounts Pride (12/1)

This is probably best left to WHERE IT ALL BEGAN, who failed to make a meaningful impact on his recent chase debut at Gowran but he is entitled to come on for that run (first start for 10 months) and has bright prospects judged on what he achieved over hurdles. Stablemate What An Ocean will need to improve significantly for the switch to fences if she's to have a major say and bigger threats are likely to be posed by Barbary Master and Robinstown.
