Forecasts

Leahman (11/4), Rip Rocks Paddy Ok (5/1), Pure Nature (7/1), Drummer (17/2), Paistiul (9/1), Landing Zone (11/1), Curious Bride (12/1), Merroir (12/1), Sweet Affection (14/1), Caronda (16/1), Sleepy Head (16/1), Eyeoweyou (18/1), Appian Way (18/1), Quiet Desire (40/1)

LEAHMAN was disappointing over hurdles at Galway in July, but he'd run an excellent race on the level earlier that month and ought to be a big factor from his basement mark. Rip Rocks Paddy Ok and Drummer are a couple of potential threats.
