Forecasts

Duchess Ravenwaves (11/4), The Ballyboys (3/1), Southerner (5/1), Sullane Hill (6/1), Carnet De Stage (8/1), Cahirdown Boy (8/1), Olive D'Haguenet (8/1), Masterstonemason (25/1)

Southerner did superbly to win after a huge absence last time The 'bounce' factor has to be a bit of a concern, but if he can reproduce that form he'd be a big player from 8lb higher. However, preference is for DUCHESS RAVENWAVES, who also won with something in hand last time and should be suited by this step up in trip. Little else makes much appeal, but perhaps Masterstonemason has what it takes to fill the frame.
