Forecasts

Mi Esperanza (9/4), Teddy Boy (5/2), Pillar (9/2), Snow Patch (7/1), Ahyoka (12/1), Too Hard To Hold (14/1), Ticks The Boxes (16/1), Art Of Unity (18/1), St George's Head (18/1), Realtin Fantasy (20/1), Hija De La Luna (25/1), Castrogiovanni (25/1), My Good Brother (33/1), Pride Of Pimlico (33/1), Hot Dakota (40/1), Nice Child Two (50/1), Pocket Edition (100/1), Seanjohnsilver (150/1)

Preference is for SNOW PATCH, who figures off a handy mark and was only narrowly denied under this pilot at the Curragh last month. Teddy Boy and Mi Esperanza are feared most.
