Forecasts

Sea Appeal (7/2), Anyonecanhaveitall (5/1), Broken Ice (13/2), Father Ailbe (15/2), Antigua Son (15/2), Majestic Jewel (17/2), Stellify (10/1), Greenpanda (11/1), Ghost Serge (12/1), Bear Claws (14/1), Grand D'espagne (14/1), Ferrum (16/1), Petitioner (18/1), Dawn Of The West (22/1), Share The Honour (28/1), Zadallabration (33/1), Lord Erskine (40/1), Afternoonwithsusan (80/1)

Cases can be made for several but the most compelling is for BROKEN ICE. Gavin Cromwell's charge finally opened his account over timber at Bellewstown last month, and having filled the runner-up spot when last seen in this sphere in July, he's taken to go a place better here. Stellify returned to form when third at Tramore last time so she heads the possible dangers, ahead of Dawn of The West.
