Forecasts

January (1/2), Green Triangle (11/4), Beckman (9/1), No Return (14/1), Dahlia Noir (16/1), Senna's Girl (22/1), Grand Dante (25/1), Bay Colony (33/1)

JANUARY still looked a work in progress when a staying-on third at the Curragh last time and with this return to further sure to suit she gets the nod over form choice Green Triangle who rates a big threat nonetheless. Beckman and No Return both look to have better days ahead of them and can't be dismissed either in an intriguing listed event.
