Forecasts

Ragmans Corner (85/40), Castleheath (11/2), Son Of Hypnos (13/2), Half A Chance (7/1), Pralognan (7/1), Aurea Fortuna (8/1), Battle Of Ridgeway (9/1), Jack Holiday (10/1), Pahlavi (12/1), Kotkito Bello (16/1), Eyeeye (18/1), Duleek Street (25/1), Miss Dishy (28/1), Sayitfirst (40/1), Seventy Eight Team (40/1), Georginas Jet (125/1)

This is wide open but SON OF HYPNOS rates the pick of these weights and is taken to build on his resurgent recent sixth here and resume winning ways. Pralognan is feared most if taking up this engagement with Jack Holiday, Battle Of Ridgeway and Ragmans Corner all well in the mix too. Pahlavi completes the shortlist.
