Forecasts

Cave Court (9/4), Magic Olinger (4/1), Sainte Baol (4/1), Luimneach (9/1), Slamadoor (9/1), Le Fanu (9/1), Stormalong (11/1), All In Peder (11/1), Tuckmill (12/1), Gekkota (16/1), Imadpour (20/1), Sydney Cruiser (22/1), Francois (25/1), Sayitfirst (25/1), Ar Nos Na Gaoithe (25/1), Khewilltu (25/1), Rhythm And Tyne (33/1), Tina Meehan (40/1), Grivei (66/1)

MAGIC OLINGER did too much too soon at Downpatrick and is worth another chance back from a break with a tongue strap fitted. Stormalong and Slamadoor head the dangers.
