Forecasts

Je Suis (9/4), Hit The Frame (11/2), God Help Us (15/2), Lummi Island (15/2), Decimation (8/1), James The Brave (17/2), My Friend The Wind (11/1), Zolpharine (14/1), Sea Road Fill (14/1), Tuff Days (18/1), Island Mccoo (20/1), Avec Espoir (40/1)

Ready preference is for former point winner GOD HELP US, who improved when opening his chase account at the fourth attempt in a Ballinrobe handicap last month and a 6 lb rise looks manageable. Fellow last-time-out winner Hit The Frame and My Friend The Wind both have claims and rate the main dangers in that order of preference. Chase debutant Lummi Island and Sea Road Fill are others to consider.
