Forecasts

Starting Monday (4/1), Slieve Bearnagh (5/1), Rockview Empress (5/1), Chimeric (6/1), Flight Command (17/2), Dancing Zebedee (9/1), Gold Allure (10/1), Red Heel (12/1), Plunkett (14/1), Crossguns (16/1), Pachmena (20/1), Sasvana (66/1)

A few of these have question marks against them so STARTING MONDAY looks to have been found a good opportunity to open his account now he goes back up in trip after keeping on well for fourth at Tipperary. Rockview Empress arrives in good nick so is feared most, although Red Heel could also have a big say now she goes handicapping.
