Forecasts

The Churchill Lad (5/4), Dream Jet (5/2), Caithness (11/4), One More Stroke (3/1), Ballyfort (8/1)

Cases can be made for all the quintet, but the suggestion is CAITHNESS, who went down by a head to the race-fit The Churchill Lad on chasing debut over C&D 5 weeks ago and can turn the tables now 1 lb better off with that rival here. One More Stroke, who was runner-up on both starts in Irish points earlier in his career, rounds off the shortlist making his return/chase bow fitted in a tongue tie.
