Forecasts

Emancipator (7/4), Whiskey Lullaby (10/3), Clarabello (15/2), Shes Some Doll (10/1), Walking The Walk (12/1), Spare Brakes (16/1), Carnet De Stage (18/1), Sean Says (18/1), Mick The Jiver (20/1), Aherlow (20/1), Clonguile Way (25/1), Imperial Sachin's (28/1), Jimli's Island (28/1), I'm Not Alone (33/1), Carried (33/1), Bitview Colin (40/1), Orion D'Aubrelle (50/1)

It could be worth chancing CARNET DE STAGE, who's returned to a more suitable trip back over fences. Whiskey Lullaby and Shes Some Doll head the dangers.
