Forecasts

C'Est Quelqu'un (10/11), Galmar (4/1), Winnie Woodnutt (4/1), Chief Seattle (7/1), Tango Theatre (8/1), Inchidaly Copper (11/1), Close Enough (16/1), Well Polly (18/1), Delias Pet (20/1), Gold Creek (20/1), Jetango (20/1), Ferrybridge (22/1), Weihnachts (25/1), Hit The Button (28/1), Courting Vickie (33/1), Ballagh Star (40/1), Heart Of Rome (50/1), Ballygriffin Girl (50/1), Roman Parish (50/1), Laughing Trix (80/1), Coppercoast Paudie (125/1)

Gordon Elliott's C'EST QUELQU'UN looks the way to go here on the back of his excellent Downpatrick second on his yard debut with the promise of more to come now. In-form Tango Theatre is still to get her head in front but is second on the list with Galmar and Winnie Woodnutt two more to consider in an open handicap.
