Forecasts

The Cathal Don (6/5), The Greek (6/5), Blackstone Cliff (10/1), Hurricane Alex (11/1), Call Me Dolly (11/1), Shirocco's Delight (14/1), Crosshouse Boy (20/1), Mr Tambourine Man (25/1), The Claddagh Man (50/1), Caerless Whisper (50/1), Tidal Racer (66/1), Mystery Mac (66/1), Port Luna (80/1), Urban Boom (100/1), Jj The Yes Man (200/1), Boston Brahmin (200/1), Indevango (200/1)

A good chance this will develop into a straight fight between THE CATHAL DON and The Greek, with a narrow preference for the former under Rachael Blackmore. Call Me Dolly may prove best of the remainder.
