Forecasts

Springwell Bay (4/1), Absolute Notions (4/1), Imaginary Dragon (5/1), Almuhit (6/1), Silent Revolution (9/1), Carnfunnock (10/1), Noble Birth (14/1), Wakool (14/1), Curley Finger (16/1), Anna Bunina (18/1), Peking Rose (20/1), Chinx Of Light (22/1), Hector Javilex (28/1), Building Bridges (40/1), Dare To Shout (50/1)

A case can be made for plenty of these but Gordon Elliott's ABSOLUTE NOTIONS appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps so is fancied to follow up his Fairyhouse success after a break. Fellow Irish challenger Carnfunnock figures on a handy-looking mark so must enter calculations, while a solid case can also be made for Doncaster-victor Peking Rose and C&D winner Wakool.
