Forecasts

Irish Luck (5/2), Griffin Park (11/4), Helsinki (11/2), Torix Night (7/1), Moon Harvest (7/1), Pieter Both (9/1), Lemon Scent (10/1), Shiny Silva (12/1), Rock My Heart (20/1), Caberneigh (28/1), Splendid Fella (28/1), Olverston (28/1), Rafino (28/1)

MOON HARVEST can give all these something to think about but others can't be discounted in an open contest. Irish Luck is taken to chase the selection home, while Pieter Both also requires consideration.
