Forecasts

Salsa (7/4), Dark Pine (10/3), Kells (9/2), Ballinlough Gale (6/1), Fastnet Crown (13/2), Tashim (9/1), Blackberry Jack (14/1), The Bog Bank (14/1), Marooners Rock (40/1), Reminiscent (40/1), The Bank Of Dad (50/1), On The Spot (50/1), Maysonlight (80/1), Wonder Fullbright (200/1), Butterfly Lounge (200/1), True Commitment (250/1)

SALSA has been expensive to follow so far, but she didn't do a lot wrong when a keeping-on second at the Curragh 11 days ago and a reproduction of that form may well suffice. Dark Pine and Blackberry Jack are probably the main dangers.
