Forecasts

First Drift (6/4), Ballyvic Boru (6/4), Sizing Cusimano (3/1), Cash To Ash (28/1), Robert De Bruce (66/1)

Ballyvic Boru arrives in good form after his bumper win at Newcastle, though preference is for the also-penalised FIRST DRIFT, who is showing gradual improvement and may be able to defy his extra burden for winning at Doncaster. Sizing Cusimano is the most interesting of the remainder.
