Forecasts

Darkened (4/1), Anjah (9/2), Lauroline (5/1), Explorers Way (6/1), Power Drive (7/1), Miss Heartbreak (8/1), Humanitarian (17/2), Dromore Glory (14/1), Selective Power (14/1), Albion Princess (14/1), Kartayaz (16/1), Jawhary (25/1), Dr Patrick (28/1), Lohengrin (40/1), Rushford (100/1), Cloughaneely Mor (100/1)

A 2 lb swing in the weights might be enough for ANJAH to turn around recent course form Darkened and finally get off the mark under Shane Foley. Miss Heartbreak wasn't too far behind that pair last time and is also on the shortlist along with multiple course scorer Power Drive.
