Forecasts

Mahon's Way (16/5), Aeros Luck (10/3), St Faz (7/1), Dutch Schultz (7/1), A Wave Of The Sea (8/1), Clonshire River (10/1), Sargent Lightfoot (10/1), Arctic Fly (12/1), Ceanndana (12/1), Embittered (16/1), Tuckmill (16/1), Lieutenant Highway (22/1), Linden Arden (22/1), Time Marches On (25/1), Presenting Lad (28/1), Good As Hell (33/1), Battle Of Mirbat (33/1), Jack Holiday (50/1), Turnpike Trip (66/1)

A few of these offer potential but it's hard to side against Gavin Cromwell's AEROS LUCK who still looks ahead of his mark despite taking a 4 lb rise for his recent Punchestown victory. The handily-weighted Ceanndana heads the list of dangers on his return with Sargent Lightfoot and Clonshire River also firmly in the picture.
