Forecasts

L'ultimo (5/2), Dark Tide (7/2), Isikwishikwishi (4/1), Lou Lou The Legend (11/2), Count Marsh (6/1), Crested Eagle (13/2), Tried And True (7/1), Move To Prove (14/1), One Irish Rover (33/1), Brass Bell (33/1)

DARK TIDE has been running well and is just about the pick in this company. Count Marsh is probably the chief danger, while Lou Lou The Legend is the other candidate for the three.
