Forecasts

Noble Blue (6/4), Carrig Carol (5/1), Leish Oscars Son (11/2), Wee Charlie (7/1), Got To Fly (8/1), Appian Way (8/1), Hot As Pepper (12/1), Nephin Beg (16/1), Sixhandsinmypocket (18/1), Mahlers Cove (25/1), Derridae (28/1), Mermaids Cave (40/1), Hunt Museum (66/1), Rising Dust (80/1), Soldat Flamboyant (100/1), Balthar Boy (200/1)

If NOBLE BLUE makes the expected progress from his Gowran chase debut he could take a bit of stopping here. Carrig Carol and Wee Charlie will be threats if back to the level of their chase debuts, while Gavin Cromwell's Leish Oscars Son would also firmly enter the reckoning if getting a run.
