Forecasts

Mean Fomhair (3/1), Ramiro (10/3), Improving (9/2), Tresorier (5/1), Fascinating Spirit (5/1), Beckwith Place (7/1), Dragon Of Malta (8/1), Count Of Carabass (8/1), Kodiac Prince (12/1), The Mpex Kid (12/1), Darkest (12/1), Galtee Mist (12/1), Kokura (16/1), Fit For Function (16/1), Atlas (20/1), Able Jack (25/1), Blyton (50/1), War Hero (150/1)

Marginal preference is for TRESORIER who has been nudged up only 2 lb for his recent Curragh victory and will be seen in an even better light now he returns to 7f. Mean Fomhair arrives in good form and still has few miles on the clock so she is feared most, although Beckwith Place is another who is sure to be on the premises in an open handicap.
