Forecasts

New Moon Rising (7/2), Cursory Exam (4/1), Kalaroun (9/2), Never Mistabeat (5/1), Ten Ten Twenty (11/2), Leabaland (6/1), Tooreen Angel (6/1), Hurricane Alex (11/1), Na Caith Tobac (12/1), Adamaris (14/1), Newgirlintown (14/1), Everyhouronthehour (16/1), Supreme Machine (16/1), Helen De Pourtales (20/1), Dusty Winds (25/1), Lady Georgie (28/1), Ghumama (40/1)

Typically competitive stuff with several in with a shout. However, the vote goes to LEABALAND, who is yet to match the pick of last season's efforts this year, but is taken to strike with first-time blinkers applied having scored at this venue from a 4 lb higher mark 12 months ago. Cursory Exam is feared most after opening his account over C&D last week, ahead of Tooreen Angel and Adamaris.
