Forecasts

Fairyhill Run (7/4), Arthur's Baby (7/2), The Sliding Rock (5/1), Presenting Meghan (15/2), My Uncas (8/1), Dedanann (11/1), Gallowglass (12/1), It Takes Time (40/1)

There should be more to come from PRESENTING MEGHAN over this sort of trip so she may be capable of adding to her Down Royal success. Arthur's Baby rates a danger on the back of her Listowel success for in-form Mark McNiff, while The Sliding Rock is also respected for the Gordon Elliott team.
