Forecasts

Distillate (5/2), Sporting Hero (11/2), Fly To Glory (11/2), Clonmacash (13/2), Land Lover (7/1), Wild Mountain (8/1), Livingston Range (8/1), Elliott (11/1), Hezahunk (12/1), Shoebox King (16/1), Munroh (25/1), Belles Feuilles (25/1), Tai Sing Yeh (33/1)

SPORTING HERO was a dual AW winner when trained in Britain and is potentially quite a classy sort for a claimer. Distillate may prove best of the McGuinness trio and provide the chief threat ahead of the selection's stablemate Land Lover.
