Forecasts

Mica Malpic (3/1), Presenting Cody (4/1), Roped In (5/1), Shawshank (13/2), Walking The Walk (15/2), Outside The Door (8/1), An Droichead Eile (11/1), Minella Away (20/1), Double Windsor (25/1), Important Message (33/1), Turndownthevolume (66/1)

MICA MALPICS' improved showing for this yard was forewarned by the market and given how well he responded to cheekpiece, he still looks ahead of his mark. Roped In has more to offer and is a threat, while Shawshank has been in excellent order between the flags of late.
