Forecasts

Presence (7/4), Nahori (9/2), Clarita (13/2), Loingseoir (15/2), Hurricane Helen (8/1), Lady Arwen (10/1), Anvika (10/1), Wrist Art (11/1), Royal Pippen (14/1), My Little Lady (33/1), Acotango (33/1)

HURRICANE HELEN ran up to her best at a trip that stretched her when third at Dundalk 2 weeks ago, which suggests she may still have a bigger performance in her. Lady Arwen and Clarita head the dangers.
