Forecasts

Benny The Duke (6/4), Glenglass (11/4), Meetingofthewaters (3/1), Arabian King (15/2), Val The Man (16/1), Lookondebrightside (20/1), Champagne Trail (20/1), Nevrquiteasitseems (25/1), Prayer Moon (25/1), Kilfinny Queen (33/1), Laws Of Glory (50/1), Great Island (66/1), Fenshar (66/1), Headscratcher (66/1), Raymondstown (66/1), Gutsy Tycoon (100/1), Qatar Spirit (125/1), Ask The Chimneys (200/1), Cosmology (250/1)

BENNY THE DUKE found only the ill-fated Ginto (final win in a Grade 1) too good at Navan when last seen in November and has strong claims if ready to go. Meetingofthewaters and Glenglass are dangers.
