Forecasts

Native Speaker (6/4), Magellan Strait (11/4), Uncle Pat (10/3), Irina's Path (11/1), Ashdale Flyer (14/1), Milanaway (18/1), Whatsitabout (25/1), Deise Bhoy (25/1), Western Ability (28/1), Practice Run (28/1), Manlikemike (40/1), Coole Cottage (80/1), Spricklestown (125/1), Flaxfield (150/1), Pure Design (200/1), Eabha Rose (250/1)

NATIVE SPEAKER has had a few goes now but he returned from a break with a sound third here a month ago and he's taken to put his experience to the best use. Uncle Pat is certainly in the right hands to progress and he's a big threat, with Magellan Strait also of interest.
