Forecasts

Ghost Hunter (5/2), Ultra Beat (3/1), Jar Du Desert (4/1), Martalmix'jac (11/2), Catchim (6/1), Bravethewaves (15/2), Saint Bibiana (9/1), Rostello (25/1)

Cases can be made for several of these but the most persuasive is for ULTRA BEAT, who was travelling like the most likely winner in front when unseating his rider 5 out here recently and Henry Daly's 7-y-o is fancied to make amends at the expense of Ghost Hunter, who looks every inch a chaser and has switched yards ahead of his return. Bravethewaves and Saint Bibiana can fight out third.
