Forecasts

Bigcitylights (6/4), Cloghan Castle (4/1), Diamond Appeal (8/1), Myleno (8/1), Chef's Kiss (9/1), Revolut Ned (9/1), Microscope (14/1), Southey (18/1), Mrs Mc Go (25/1), Born Bright (25/1), Pepperpots (100/1)

With little worthwhile Rules form to go on, the market will help assess these but MYLENO arrives in excellent heart from the pointing field so receives the tentative vote. Chef's Kiss also won last time between the flags, with Bigcitylights another to note given the yard he represents.
