Forecasts

Mahler Appeal (10/3), Elle Dorado Rock (4/1), Cher Why Not (9/2), Haveuseentherain (9/1), Gig Harbor (9/1), Three Comets (12/1), Sulafaat (12/1), Legacy Of Dreams (16/1), Jesina (16/1), Duffys Getaway (20/1), Elusive Sea (20/1), Greatmindstinkalik (25/1), Cafe Del Mar (33/1), Vodka Society (33/1), Wee Small Hours (33/1), Thekingofconnemara (33/1), Brock Beauty (40/1), Cornhill Lass (100/1)

Verdict

THREE COMETS showed his first form in this sphere when fourth in a maiden hurdle at Galway in July and remains potentially well treated given his ability on the Flat (winner at Thurles in October). Gig Harbour and Mahler Appeal head the dangers.
