Forecasts

Mt Leinster (2/11), Global Society (11/2), Shantou Lucky (12/1), Young Jack Yates (22/1), Hard Rain (25/1), Money Heist (50/1), Rightful Mind (66/1), Craggaunowen (200/1)

This looks an ideal opportunity for MT LEINSTER to open his account over fences. Global Society and Shantou Lucky may be the ones to chase him home.
