Forecasts

Bristol Hill (1/1), Forgetmenotblue (5/2), Sicario (15/2), Her Way (17/2), Selfish Brian (18/1), Amourie (20/1), First Account (33/1)

A few with chances but BRISTOL HILL is able to race off just a 1 lb higher mark than when a very good recent C&D second and gets the nod. Forgetmenotblue came in just a place behind Kevin Frost's 5-y-o there so Karl Burke's ex-Irish recruit is feared most, with the fair winning chaser First Account not discounted either back on the level.
