Forecasts

Baily Thunder (5/2), Streets Of Doyen (11/4), Cherif De L'Isle (5/1), The Trigger (15/2), Fou Diligence (8/1), Hello Pilgrim (10/1), Stormy Judge (10/1), Ocean Glandore (11/1), Pump Road (11/1), Fruits Of Glory (12/1), Lee Valley Legacy (28/1), It Takes Time (28/1), Ballinlina Boy (33/1), Treasure Mountain (33/1), Amaulino (50/1), Deputy's Pass (50/1), Highway Royal (66/1)
