Forecasts

Shandy (9/4), Heart Of Darkness (3/1), Betsen (9/2), Sturlasson (6/1), Staysound Susie (15/2), Jalaybee (20/1), Bright Lightening (20/1), Emerald Harmony (25/1), Martinelli (25/1), Movento (33/1), Surpass And Shine (50/1), Galel (66/1), Comein Comein (100/1), Platino Bianco (150/1), Akeela (150/1), Grand Citadel (200/1), Star Sailor (200/1), Ginormous (200/1)

SHANDY made a promising start at the Curragh in the autumn and gets the vote with improvement likely on her return. Heart of Darkness is an appealing newcomer, while Sturlasson drops in grade and could have a race in him.
