Forecasts

Do Your Job (5/2), Debece (7/2), Informateur (5/1), Mister Whitaker (6/1), Ascot De Bruyere (7/1), Brelan D'As (8/1), Fire Away (9/1)

Given that DO YOUR JOB was only 10 lengths behind the Arkle favourite on his penultimate outing, a mark of 140 could prove lenient, so he gets the nod up against a bunch of rivals who have less scope. Debece, although obviously fragile, has the ability to defy this mark, so he's regarded as a danger along with Fire Away.
