Forecasts

Khezaana (3/1), Firstman (4/1), El Tren (5/1), Beautiful Chaos (11/2), Blackpoint (8/1), Magic Word (9/1), Darraby (10/1), Great Realisation (10/1), Final Endeavour (12/1), Weddell Sea (12/1), Sacchoandvanzetti (16/1), Perfect Arch (80/1), Balaclava (100/1)

This looks wide open and a chance is taken on GREAT REALISATION, who was below on his latest start in this sphere at Galway in July but he has performed with credit over hurdles either side of that and he should be capable of picking up a race off this sort of mark. Final Endeavour has been operating below his best of late but it would be no surprise where to he to bounce with a bold show, while recent Bellewstown winner Firstman is another with decent claims.
