Forecasts

Stand Off (5/2), Jacksons Gold (7/2), Gevrey (4/1), Rightplacerightime (6/1), Alko Rouge (13/2), The Dara Man (7/1), Now Where Or When (9/1), Western Run (16/1), Eleazar Des Neiges (25/1)

THE DARA MAN already seems a better chaser than hurdler judged on his win at Limerick last month. He has scope for further improvement in this sphere so could be the answer. Rightplacerightime and Gevrey are feared most.
