Forecasts

Global Equity (1/3), An Taibhse (4/1), Eyre Square (5/1), Marmolata (15/2), Ardera Ru (12/1), Chernikova (16/1), Load The Gold (18/1), Greenhill Damsel (20/1), Notalossla (22/1), Delightfantastic (25/1), Nymphhall (50/1), California Breeze (50/1), Steak And Onions (80/1), It's Time Again (125/1), Mountain Gale (150/1), Ask Blossomfort (200/1), Classic Storm (300/1), Tribal News (300/1)

Having found the going tough in Graded company of late, this represents a welcome drop in class for GLOBAL EQUITY and she is selected to make the most of it. Eyre Square won a bumper last time so commands respect now hurdling, with An Taibhse and Marmolata also interesting.
