Forecasts

Jack Yeats (5/2), Gin Coco (10/3), Highland Sky (7/2), Lord Torranaga (11/2), Cuba Ruba (17/2), Tumbling Dice (11/1), Rickety Gate (16/1), Charlottes Way (50/1), Farsideofthemoon (50/1), Getaway Plan (80/1), Dapper Daisy (200/1), Minnimo (200/1)

JACK YEATS made a promising start to his hurdling career when second at Limerick in June and should have more to offer for his new stable, so he gets the nod. Gin Coco is also interesting having shown clear promise on his only outing in France, with hurdling newcomers Highland Sky and Lord Torranaga not taken lightly either.
