Forecasts

Cavern Club (6/5), Jolie Coeur Allen (5/4), Reach For The Moon (7/1), A Day To Dream (15/2), Fairmac (15/2), Ready To Shine (16/1), Storm Spirit (25/1), Baby Evie (33/1), Flexi Lady (100/1), Thunder Gap (100/1), Inoue (150/1), Raincloud (200/1)

If JOLIE COUER ALLEN gets anywhere near the pick of her Irish efforts she'll set a reasonable standard for the rest to aim at. Reach For The Moon remains with potential as a hurdler and is second choice ahead of James Owen hurdle newcomer Cavern Club, the mount of Harry Cobden.
