Forecasts

Money Heist (7/4), Chainofconsequence (4/1), Johngus (4/1), Jump The Shark (8/1), Prince Of Air (10/1), Kilashee (12/1), Young Fitzy (12/1), Barbaha Queen (14/1), Theblazen Queen (80/1), Glen Ali (250/1)

MONEY HEIST scored with something to spare at Naas last month and, with more to come, he's fancied to go in again at the likely expense of Johngus, who is well treated returning to the larger obstacles. Young Fitzy is another one to consider.
