Forecasts

Penelope's Sister (11/8), Say What You See (6/1), Hill O Rue (7/1), Sure And Stedfast (7/1), Tartaraghan (7/1), We Still Believe (10/1), Naturalia (12/1), Captain Hanley (12/1), Young Fire (14/1), Jachin (20/1), Cisco Disco (33/1), Nippasso (33/1), Mr Withington (40/1), Coulsea (50/1)

CAPTAIN HANLEY shaped well at Down Royal last time and gets the nod for Ado McGuinness. Sure And Stedfast and Hill O Rue both promise to be suited by the step up to 1¼m and head the dangers along with Say What You See.
