Forecasts

Njord (4/1), So Suave (7/1), Flaming Moon (8/1), Agitare (9/1), Quizical (10/1), Jassaar (10/1), Sirjack Thomas (12/1), Laughifuwant (14/1), Onlyhuman (14/1), Breaking Story (16/1), Darkened (16/1), Strongbowe (20/1), Trading Point (22/1), Mythologic (25/1), Cyrus Dallin (25/1), Big Baby Bull (25/1), Mulzamm (25/1), High Altitude (28/1), Atlas (40/1), Saltonstall (50/1), Desert Wind (50/1), Prisoner's Dilemma (50/1), Chilean (100/1)

NJORD continues to thrive for Jessica Harrington and can be considered an unlucky loser when a neck second at Galway last month considering he got it wrong at the start. The return to 1m will suit and he is taken to defy top weight, with Jassaar, Sirjack Thomas and So Suave just a trio of potential dangers.
