Forecasts

Tashim (4/1), Pimstrel (5/1), Myrcella (5/1), Angel's Trumpet (13/2), Indiana Grey (8/1), Gatsby Cap (9/1), Hot Bell (9/1), Nevada Brave (10/1), Eastern Racer (12/1), The Bog Bank (14/1), Missemma (14/1), Rocket Carnival (14/1), Is Fantastic (14/1), Shimla Rolann (16/1), Texas Rock (16/1), Maccliff (18/1), Coffeemeanscoffee (40/1), Sahreej (100/1), Vormir (100/1)

Plenty with claims here, including MYRCELLA, who acquitted herself well at Roscommon last time and has been given a chance by the handicapper. Angel's Trumpet and Pimstrel head the list of dangers.
