Forecasts

Ohailbhic (11/4), Late Night Talking (3/1), Miss Black Jack (4/1), Staysound Susie (4/1), Genesis (9/2), Happy Henry (16/1), Whatswrongnow (40/1), Enola Nation (125/1)

STAYSOUND SUSIE finished with running left when a good third at Naas in October and is taken to open her account here. Ohailbhic and Late Night Talking rate the principal dangers.
