Forecasts

Hostage To Fortune (13/8), Midland Millie (9/2), Exit To The West (5/1), Napoleon Blue (5/1), Hell On Earth (10/1), Delirious Love (12/1), Lily Trotter (12/1), Dancing Jeremy (16/1), Twilight Girl (18/1), Crack On Corrie (20/1), Red Lemonade (22/1), Marshalled (22/1), Full Of Zandre (33/1), James Boru (40/1), Comporta (40/1), Shantou Sisu (80/1), Minella Moment (100/1)

This can go to HOSTAGE TO FORTUNE, who went backwards from his promising reappearance earlier this month but is well worth another chance to recapture the form of his Galway third in October. Napoleon Blue ran creditably over timber at Down Royal last time so just shades the vote for second, ahead of point-winner Exit To The West and Midland Millie.
