Forecasts

Currawood (4/9), No Such Thing (3/1), Elegant Grand (9/1), Shamanka (16/1), Spodo Komodo (20/1), Glenroyal (22/1), Mischief Man (25/1), Lynns Dash (25/1), Magnolia Drive (100/1), Flynn Ryder (125/1), Widely Acclaimed (125/1), Rising Sky (125/1), Edge Of Mali (150/1), Voice Of Northeast (150/1)

CURRAWOOD holds the clear edge on form so is taken to gain a deserved first success at the chief expense of Joseph O'Brien's newcomer Glenroyal, who needs monitoring in the market. Shamanka and No Such Thing appeal as the pick of the rest in the battle for minor honours.
