Forecasts

Themanintheboots (6/5), Realistic Optimism (6/4), Slate Gray (7/1), Applejack Poet (8/1), The Grey Goose (12/1), Max Time (20/1), Hedgecutter (20/1), M For Melody (33/1), Volantis (40/1), Sameasiteverwas (50/1), Daly Pursuit (50/1), Saddle In The Rain (66/1), Righteous Ruane (80/1), Outa Karney (100/1), Fairland (100/1), Barney Van Winkle (100/1), Sharbeth (100/1), Lighthouse Dandy (150/1), Bella Be Good (200/1)

There's a chance this will develop into a straight fight between THEMANINTHEBOOTS and Realistic Optimism. The former was making his debut when third at Killarney last month and is taken to build on that and strike at the second time of asking. Slate Gray may prove best of the rest.
