Forecasts

Earls (5/1), Gegenpressing (11/2), Linus Larrabee (8/1), Clara's Approach (8/1), Teddy Boy (10/1), Showmolina (11/1), Ever Rock (11/1), Curraheen Princess (12/1), Conversant (12/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (12/1), Harry's Hill (16/1), Seven Worlds (20/1), Theriverrunsdeep (20/1), Mister Trader (25/1), Mary Salome (28/1), Stay Local (33/1)

Competitive stuff but EARLS has been knocking on the door in slightly deeper handicaps than this so makes as much appeal as any of these. Curraheen Princess and Harry's Hill finished first and second in a C&D contest recently and head the opposition.
