Forecasts

Lunar Power (5/2), Hidden Land (5/1), Malbas (7/1), Little Brother (8/1), Hook Head (9/1), Anyonecanhaveitall (11/1), Fox Fearless (11/1), Final Orders (14/1), Mastermind (18/1), Lusis Naturea (20/1), Harvest Bow (20/1), Born Leader (20/1), Franno (25/1), Guido Reni (50/1), Casa Comigo (50/1), Gonna Go Viral (66/1), Intermedia (100/1)

This looks wide open and the vote goes to ANYONECANHAVEITALL, who has yet to strike on this side of the Irish Sea but he has slipped to a potentially handy mark and his latest effort at Navan was encouraging. The forecast quicker ground here will aid his cause, too. Lunar Power didn't get the best of runs here last time and is feared over this new trip, while Hidden Land is also shortlisted.
