Forecasts

Steer Clear (5/2), All The Chimneys (9/2), Dollar Value (13/2), Mullaghmurphy Blue (15/2), Dontdooddson (8/1), Crossed My Mind (11/1), Allardyce (11/1), Jack Dillinger (12/1), Niccolai (14/1), Crazywork De Vassy (14/1), Dakota Moirette (14/1), Nearly Nama'd (18/1), Brex Drago (22/1), Well Joey (22/1), Smitty Bacall (33/1)

ALL THE CHIMNEYS did extremely well to reach the places over this C&D 2 weeks ago having been put on the back foot at an extremely early stage and is threatening to come good soon. Dollar Value remains with potential back over fences and is next best ahead of Steer Clear.
