Forecasts

Clairmc (5/2), Berliet Express (10/3), Freddie Robdal (11/2), Coole Arcade (6/1), Peckham Springs (13/2), Francois (7/1), Some Woman (10/1), Black Samurai (16/1), Automatic (25/1)

Verdict

FRANCOIS looked a big threat when exiting at the second-last back in this sphere at Clonmel last month and he is appealing off an untouched mark. Next on the list is Clairmc, who made it second time lucky over fences over 2½m here recently, albeit this drop back in trip may not prove to be ideal. Berliet Express merits respect, too, while C&D winner Coole Arcade would certainly have a chance if bouncing back.
