Forecasts

Cnodian (2/1), Swift Flight (11/2), Secret Magician (7/1), Zephron (11/1), Downforce (14/1), Mary Salome (14/1), Tammany Hall (14/1), Susies Sapphire (18/1), Bells On Her Toes (20/1), Fastar (22/1), Improving (25/1), Numoor (28/1), Andromedas Kingdom (28/1), Aljady (33/1), Ever Rock (33/1), Tellthemi'mhere (33/1), Nordic Passage (33/1), Gegenpressing (33/1), Chrismoltisanti (33/1), Stanhope (40/1), Inventor (50/1), Gobi Desert (80/1), Hot Sunset (100/1), Run Forrest Run (100/1)

CNODIAN has been in excellent form lately and pulled clear of the remainder when second over 5f at this course 3 days ago, so he takes preference Swift Flight, who is also at the top of his game. Tammany Hall shaped best when third at Navan last week and could also make his presence felt.
