Forecasts

Tommy McJohn (10/3), Arizona Beauty (7/2), Weegeebear (9/2), Billie Be Quick (7/1), El Fontenaro (8/1), Tino Pai (11/1), Desert Cyclone (16/1), Tilly's Company (16/1), Alcedo Atthis (18/1), No Straight Swaps (22/1), Eric Lock (25/1), Rumba Bay (50/1), Ink Sketch (66/1), Onomatapeoi (100/1)

It could be worth giving another chance to TOMMY MCJOHN, who had shown plenty of ability prior to his disappointing Cork run last month. Billie Be Quick and Weegeebear head the list of dangers in what looks a very open contest.
