Forecasts

The Lovely Man (5/4), Jhentong Enki (13/8), Yeats Star (5/1), Bayou Belle (5/1), Showman (12/1), Upthereforthinking (12/1), Juniper Hill (28/1), Chicago Storm (33/1), Lake Manzaleh (33/1), Tropical Speed (50/1), Jullou De Grissay (66/1), Fascinating Story (125/1), Billy Lee Swagger (125/1), Leste (125/1), Stabila (200/1), Saynothinatall (250/1)

THE LOVELY MAN had no chance with the well-ridden winner at Wexford on return to action at the beginning of the month and is fancied to run much closer to form in a conventional race this time. Jhentong Enki was an easy winner on his point debut so has to be feared, with Yeats Star another to consider.
