Forecasts

Motherland (13/8), Ezanak (2/1), Benkei (6/1), Mandatario (8/1), Adimelo (14/1), Swamp Fox (14/1), Brokopondo (16/1), Tandem (20/1), Cash In Mind (33/1)

MOTHERLAND should be going places this season. He won as he pleased at Galway in July when last spotted and should be well up to the challenge of continuing his winning ways here. Tandem would be capable of giving him a major scare but a 14-month layoff rather cools expectations for him as does the fact that Smullen instead partners Ezanak. He should improve on his reappearance now meeting better ground but will struggle to contain an on-song favourite. Dual performer Swamp Fox shouldn't be overlooked on his return to the Flat.
