Forecasts

Aeroplane Mode (11/4), Van Zant (7/2), Angel Of Antrim (6/1), Outreach (11/1), Hellavapace (12/1), Inexplicable (12/1), Capallcliste (12/1), Gypsy Whisper (12/1), Dillydingdillydong (14/1), Broughtons Flare (20/1), Lupset Flossy Pop (25/1), Motasaleeta (80/1)

If CAPALLCLISTE is able to build on his encouraging C&D effort 3 week ago he could be the answer to an open-looking handicap. Hellavapace wasn't beaten far here last time and she will be a danger to all if she puts her best foot forward, while Angel of Antrim has slipped to an attractive mark and he is also shortlisted.
