Forecasts

Billie Be Quick (9/4), El Fontenaro (10/3), Weegeebear (5/1), Eric Lock (11/2), Moonhall Lass (13/2), Barton Key (15/2), No Straight Swaps (9/1), Alcedo Atthis (12/1), Tino Pai (12/1), Sovereign Affair (18/1), Ink Sketch (28/1), Rumba Bay (40/1)

ERIC LOCK took a step back in the right direction at Naas and gets the vote down another 3 lb in a race that doesn't look as strong. El Fontenaro and Weegeebear are a couple of the others to consider.
