Forecasts

James Henry (10/3), Sweeping Statement (7/2), Santa Catarina (9/2), Cometh The Man (9/2), The Rebel Breen (6/1), Palais D'elysee (10/1), Irish Act (14/1), Ruby Jules (16/1), Atbay (33/1), Approach The Land (40/1), Strip Light (50/1), Papa Carlo (80/1), Poetic Girl (100/1), Battle Manoueuvre (125/1)

SWEEPING STATEMENT hasn't made a significant impact in AW handicaps on his last 2 outings but even a repeat of the form he showed on those occasions could be good enough now dropping into a claimer. Noel Meade pair James Henry, the mount of Colin Keane, and The Rebel Breen may give him most to do.
