Forecasts

Billy Wedge (10/3), Jems Bond (5/1), Sin E Shekells (6/1), Deevious Beau (15/2), Kolossus (9/1), Ireland's Eye (12/1), Louis Treize (12/1), Highlight Reel (14/1), Liberty Breeze (18/1), Giant Steps (22/1), Penombre (25/1), Marwari (28/1), Cuppacoco (33/1), Wicklow Warrior (33/1), The Golden Cue (33/1), Power Point (40/1), Point Of Woods (50/1), Mansfield (66/1), Excessable (66/1), Lady Mander (80/1)

JEMS BOND arrives in form from AW and it's worth chancing that he can continue the good work back on turf in a race where very few arrive with compelling claims. Billy Wedge didn't make too bad a start for new trainer Neil Mechie over 7f here a fortnight ago so he's a possible threat. Cuppacoco and Deevious Beau, who has been in good form on AW, also make the shortlist.
