Forecasts

Duffle Coat (7/2), Arcadian Sunrise (5/1), Autumn Evening (13/2), Powerful Aggie (15/2), Maze Runner (15/2), Dunvegan (9/1), Lynwood Gold (9/1), Royal Illusion (10/1), Coltor (11/1), Shanroe (11/1), De Name Escapes Me (12/1), Celestial Horizon (16/1), Jukebox Jive (18/1), Torcello (18/1), My Sister Sarah (20/1), Yaxeni (33/1), Bright Idea (33/1), Desert Friend (33/1), Whiskey Sour (40/1), Great Bear (40/1), Takarengo (50/1), Presto (50/1), Aircraft Carrier (66/1)

Plenty to consider here, but DUFFLE COAT is perhaps the most interesting of all. He will relish a good test at this trip now handicapping and his opening mark could be lenient given his useful hurdles form. The likeable Powerful Aggie is second choice, with Maze Runner perhaps the pick of the Mullins runners.
