Forecasts

Mahons Glory (15/8), Free Handshake (2/1), Faron (10/3), Laishann (7/1), Well Pleased (8/1), Frontier General (14/1), Hope Des Blins (14/1), Helvic Princess (16/1), Winstons Corner (28/1), Two Meter Rule (33/1), Thegooseiscooked (66/1), Conna Sue (66/1), Longhouse Force (100/1), Karloss (150/1), Ucandoit (200/1), Musical Melody (200/1), Morepowertoya (200/1)

FARON is just the type to improve in this sphere as he gains experience and in the hope he keeps the errors down, he looks the way to go. Mahons Glory is very likely to give his running, with Free Handshake another to consider on the back of an excellent effort last time.
