Forecasts

Rockbury Lad (9/2), Jazz Dreamers (9/2), My Little Tip (6/1), Bucky Larson (15/2), Lasting Peace (8/1), James Henry (17/2), Above It All (9/1), Designer Cailin (10/1), Skontonovski (10/1), Sunset Nova (12/1), Qaabil (14/1), Miltonia (16/1), Shawaf (16/1), Yester (20/1), Saoirses Lulaby (33/1), Flotus Radiance (33/1), Static Charge (100/1)

Though ABOVE IT ALL has been rather going through the motions this year, there have been more encouraging signs of late and he is worth chancing off this career-low mark. Next on the list is Sunset Nova, who may well bounce back with a bold show now returned to this venue. Jazz Dreamers hit the target at Bellewstown last time and is also shortlisted, along with James Henry and Yester.
