Forecasts

Young Ted (30/100), Cardboard Gangster (5/2), Euclyde Dubreau (6/1), Favori Logique (7/1), Criq Rock (12/1), Gibberwell (22/1), Buck Rogers (40/1), Call Me Freddie (50/1), Saddler's Cottage (100/1), Bigly (100/1), An Droichead Eile (100/1), Often In My Mind (125/1), Stopthelights (150/1)

YOUNG TED was no longer progressing when last seen but he sets a decent standard on this return to action and should prove too strong. Cardboard Gangster produced a much better effort upped to this trip last time and looks the chief threat.
