Forecasts

Cooler (5/4), Segomo (3/1), Twentynine Palms (9/2), Vista Baby (15/2), Luigi Antinori (9/1), Autocrat (12/1), Giselles Defence (14/1), Marino Point (33/1), He Knows When (50/1), Angel Dubh (66/1), Mehsham (100/1)

Ger Lyons landed this corresponding event 12 months ago and his COOLER gets the verdict with Colin Keane on board for the first time. Segomo has been gelded since he was last seen in the summer and he may emerge as the main threat upped in trip on all-weather debut, with Twentynine Palms and Autocrat another couple fancied to go well.
