Forecasts

Speckled Meadow (3/1), Wee Pablo (6/1), Angel's Trumpet (8/1), Petticoat Rule (10/1), Sevenal (11/1), Pimstrel (11/1), Sheila (12/1), Purple Gown (12/1), Sadiqaa (12/1), Fastman (14/1), Improving (14/1), No Patience (16/1), Higher Kingdom (16/1), Ginsburg (22/1), Deluca Chop (25/1), Dutch Schaefer (33/1), Talking Tough (33/1), Fascinating Secret (66/1), Noble Glory (80/1)

The return to this longer trip should suit WEE PABLO, who stayed on late when fourth at Navan last time and remains on a decent mark. Sadiqaa and Speckled Meadow head the list of dangers.
