Forecasts

Run For Pat (5/2), Valley Breeze (5/2), Grand Soir (7/2), Sarsfield (5/1), Gali Flight (5/1), Itso Vango (8/1), Bowtie (11/1), Highland Sting (16/1), Dawnoverdurrow (40/1), Blazing Yeats (50/1), Polo Express (80/1), Keep D Change (80/1), Try It On John (125/1)

RUN FOR PAT was disappointing when last seen at Down Royal in June but he sets the standard on earlier and is certainly in the right hands to get back on track. Valley Breeze could do with brushing up his jumping but he is still a big threat, along with Itso Vango.
