Forecasts

Pretty Smart (7/2), Noirvento (9/2), The Peckhampouncer (5/1), Gordon Bennett (13/2), Dee Sprinter (15/2), Blue Wood (8/1), The Cola Kid (9/1), Red Cymbal (9/1), Screen Siren (11/1), Amazing Emma (12/1), Ahyoka (14/1), Zegos Surprise (16/1), Intervention (20/1), Petticoat Rule (25/1), Alhajjaj (33/1), Lapilli (66/1)

A wide-open sprint in which PRETTY SMART could add another course win to her tally having shaped as if she'd strip fitter for her reappearance at Dundalk 7 days ago. Blue Wood and The Peckhampouncer arrive in good order, so they also warrant respect.
