Forecasts

Presence (7/4), Shavasi (11/4), Counterculture (4/1), Nahori (7/1), Glen Princess (7/1), Perfect Poise (15/2), Tachos (8/1), Sli Na Ghealai (11/1), Darkdeserthighway (16/1)

This can go to PRESENCE, who ran a cracker back in handicap company at Galway last month and remains low mileage. Counterculture and Sli Na Ghealai rate the principal dangers.
