Forecasts

Plum Perfect (5/4), Karakhan (11/4), The Alpha Man (5/1), Super Schemer (8/1), Kellmar (10/1), Punters Poet (20/1), Nouhime (25/1), Quiet Desire (33/1), Charle Brune (33/1), Mithmaar (50/1), Mustmeetinbrady's (50/1), Gormanston (100/1), Callmejango (100/1), Dream Angle (100/1)

The Tracey Collins-trained PLUM PERFECT can get a nice 'sit' from stall three behind Karakhan and Kellmar in the early stages of the race as the four-year-old bids to get off the mark at the eighth time of asking for connections following a couple of solid efforts over C&D since November. The daughter of Tamayuz under jockey Ronan Whelan can get the better of his nearest rivals Super Schemer and the aforementioned Karakhan and Kellmar.
