Forecasts

Carnfunnock (1/1), Itswhatunitesus (5/4), Polo Lounge (7/2), Invictus Machin (7/1), Maggie Walsh (250/1)

Preference is for INVICTUS MACHIN, who won with a bit in hand on his debut at Down Royal and is open to improvement. Itswhatunitesus could provide the chief threat in what could prove an informative contest.
