Forecasts

One Irish Rover (11/8), Bally Magic (4/1), Mr Molony (6/1), Forest Jump (8/1), Hippocrates (11/1), Arividicio (11/1), Dark Tide (14/1), Knight Warrior (14/1), L'ultimo (20/1), Victor Rail (22/1), Lou Lou The Legend (22/1), Firu Star (33/1)

ONE IRISH ROVER should be in the mix but it's an open race. Forest Jump seems best of the remainder, while Bally Magic edges it as the selection for third.
