Forecasts

Barleybrown (11/4), Reel Prospect (3/1), Angel Of Antrim (10/3), Indication Rocket (13/2), Anif (8/1), Martin's Brig (10/1), Kristal Klear (14/1), Showmedemoney (14/1), Retirement Beckons (18/1), Maddisonelle (100/1)

ANIF is something of a hostage to fortune, underlined by a luckless effort last time, but he's in good order and nicely handicapped, so it's worth taking the chance that things drop right on this occasion. Angel of Antrim is an obvious threat on the back of a comfortable course success and Reel Prospect is expected to return to form.
