Forecasts

Storm Eric (10/3), International Lady (10/3), Stormie Outlook (5/1), Gosford (7/1), Golden Days (17/2), Han Solo (11/1), Tynamite (14/1), Finke River (14/1), Super Cub (14/1), Sunset Nova (18/1), Happenstance (18/1), Famous Enough (20/1), River Derwent (20/1), Theriverrunsdeep (22/1), Tip The Can (33/1), Contradanza (66/1), Gormanston (80/1)

STORM ERIC wasn't seen to best effect at Galway last time and looks worth siding with having dropped to 4 lb below the mark he defied over C&D in the spring. International Lady went close over C&D on Friday and rates a threat with Colin Keane taking over in the saddle now. Stormie Outlook is another who arrives on the back of a good recent effort here and also makes the shortlist.
