Forecasts

Arch Enemy (11/4), Nevada Brave (10/3), Surac (7/2), Barretstown (8/1), Clever Capall (12/1), Together Aclaim (14/1), Reverberation (14/1), Millyupdahilly (16/1), Capla Knight (20/1), Ragtime Red (25/1), Cometh The Man (33/1), Endless Season (50/1), Thatboathassailed (80/1), Santorini Sun (100/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but SURAC returns to this sphere following a good spell over hurdles so could emerge on top. Course winner Barretstown figures on a handy mark so can't be ruled out if back on song after a break. In-form C&D scorer Nevada Brave must enter calculations too in an open contest.
