Forecasts

No Hassle (15/8), Summer Fly (9/2), Clever Currency (15/2), Bayou Belle (17/2), Viceregent (9/1), While You're Up (9/1), Lissadell (10/1), Bardo Contiguo (11/1), Dubai Clover (12/1), Riyami (14/1), Sea The Dawn (25/1), Beer With The Boys (28/1), White Strand (40/1), Zahina (50/1), Stepdance (50/1), You Make Me Smile (50/1), Crystal Pool (50/1)

Preference is for WHILE YOU'RE UP, who confirmed the promise of his return when runner-up at Tramore earlier this month and remains fairly treated. No Hassle and Summer Fly should also go well.
