Forecasts

Wee Willie Nail (11/8), The Flier Begley (2/1), Queen Jane (7/2), Will You Win (11/1), Derry Sky (14/1), Canteeny Benny (20/1), Wasini Island (22/1), Luimneach (33/1), Glan Gap (33/1), Dovlator (40/1), Wee Terry (50/1), Crystal Pool (50/1), Harel Du Marais (50/1), Cracklinrose (66/1), Reserve Judgement (100/1), Bundle Of Dreams (150/1), Midnight Fortune (150/1)

WEE WILLIE NAIL's limit has not yet been reached for his top yard and he can improve past The Flier Begley who has now had a few chances. Queen Jane is another to consider.
