Forecasts

Abbey Heights (9/4), River Tweed (9/4), Stalingrad (7/2), Maywake (5/1), Cape Columbus (10/1), Crofters Green (14/1), Forever's Lady (22/1), Storm Master (33/1), Highest Wave (66/1), Gaerwen (250/1), Miss Connaisseur (250/1), Barney Too (300/1)

RIVER TWEED was held back by inexperience on debut here in March, but he chased home a couple of very useful opponents that day and he can make a jump forward here. Stalingrad has had a few chances in Ireland but has joined a good yard and can make his presence felt, with Abbey Heights also of interest.
