Forecasts

Coyote Spirit (5/6), Whinney Hill (11/4), Good Deal (11/2), Ri An Stoirm (11/1), Lenko (16/1), Cock And Bull (25/1), Blue Du Neuf (40/1), Muhaajim (40/1), Loch Cuan (80/1), Isitraininginparis (100/1), Carniny (150/1)

The choice of Jack Kennedy, this looks a good opportunity for COYOTE SPIRIT, who can give Gordon Elliott his fourth winner in the previous 6 renewals of this race, with stablemate Whinney Hill the likely main danger if bouncing back in first-time blinkers.
