Forecasts

Ribble Valley (2/1), Eeze A Saint (3/1), Nickelsonthedime (4/1), Buddha Scheme (13/2), Fully Booked (7/1), Solway Ava (25/1), Corrieben Reiver (33/1), Getaway Gerry (33/1)

As always with these events the market should prove very informative. Eeze A Saint has obvious claims hailing from a yard that do well in this sphere. NICKELSONTHEDIME has a nice page and should be up to winning races so gets a narrow vote.
