Forecasts

Prominna (5/2), Shackled N Drawn (7/2), Roy's Legacy (5/1), Hurricane Alert (6/1), Pharoh Jake (7/1), Captain Ryan (8/1), Brogans Bay (10/1), Ask The Guru (16/1), Hornby (25/1), Tina Teaspoon (33/1)

CAPTAIN RYAN has won twice already this year and he can register a third win following a short break. The selection has a good draw here and he can get the better of Roy's Legacy who took this race 12 months ago while third place can go to the veteran Pharoh Jake who should appreciate this return to 5f.
