Forecasts

Dollar Value (13/8), Must Meet Cecil (5/1), War Correspondent (6/1), Ahead Of The Posse (7/1), Ciao Adios (15/2), Portarlington (8/1), So Des Flos (12/1), Allo Al Khawaneej (16/1), Balkito (50/1), Retreat Archie (200/1)

DOLLAR VALUE is very much a law unto himself but should build on his recent Downpatrick fourth after a lay-off and can win this claimer for the second year running. Ahead of The Posse is a danger reverting to hurdles, while Ciao Adios and Must Meet Cecil also need factoring in.
