Forecasts

Tuff Days (11/4), Ranger Billy (4/1), Brideswell Lad (11/2), Dorans River (8/1), More Info (9/1), Pearlofflorida (9/1), Well Polly (10/1), Lady Iseult (16/1), Tango Theatre (20/1), Tick Along (20/1), Duncarrig (20/1), Chelseas Friend (25/1), Doyen For A Drink (25/1), Heart Of Rome (25/1), Croi Corcra (28/1), Ballycastle Girl (50/1), Presenting Dylan (50/1), Sweet Bonnie (50/1), Zanjabeel (66/1)

BRIDESWELL LAD showed form verging on useful when landing a pair of handicaps chases in the spring and is potentially thrown in now returning to hurdles, so he's difficult to oppose on that score. More Info and Ranger Billy are a pair of interesting rivals, though.
