Forecasts

Say Goodbye (3/1), Norwigi (3/1), Mi Lighthouse (10/3), Effernock Fizz (6/1), Highstreet Roller (8/1), Georgette Fun (11/1), Duchess Ravenwaves (14/1), Psychee Du Brizais (66/1), Allora Yeats (66/1)

NORWIGI sets the standard and, provided she's none the worse for her Fairyhouse fall last month, she should be able to open her account over fences. Georgette Fun, Mi Lighthouse and Say Goodbye all have the ability to trouble her, but they each have questions to answer for one reason or another.
