Forecasts

Ratemenow (10/11), Upton's Mighty Oak (3/1), Slievehill (15/2), Return With Gold (8/1), Footage Detectives (9/1)

UPTON'S MIGHTY OAK has the potential to do better over a longer trip on handicap debut. She's narrowly preferred to Ratemenow, who finished last season on a high, while Footage Detectives is another potential improver in a tricky finale.
