Forecasts

Erosandpsyche (1/1), Moss Tucker (5/2), Prisoner's Dilemma (9/2), Shelly Banks (9/1), Beautiful Sunshine (12/1), Realtin Fantasy (50/1), Maggie Thunder (150/1)

EROSANDPSYCHE improved again when winning off a mark of 95 at Cork 2 weeks ago and has a good chance of following up on these terms. Moss Tucker is 3 lb worse off having finished just behind the selection that day but still rates the biggest threat ahead of Prisoner's Dilemma.
