Forecasts

Fish Eagle (11/8), Dontshootthebarman (7/4), One Irish Rover (15/8), Variety Fair (7/2), Olympic Standard (17/2), Hollywood Star (11/1), Abound Light (16/1), Sundog (66/1)

VARIETY FAIR appeals best of these by a narrow margin. Dontshootthebarman has the best credentials of the remainder, though One Irish Rover can't be ruled out of things either.
