Forecasts

San Aer (16/5), Sea Chariot (10/3), Walhaan (10/3), See Me Through (6/1), Tachos (7/1), Chicago Storm (8/1), Imposing Supreme (8/1), Starting Monday (9/1), Sirjack Thomas (11/1), Big Island (33/1)

A case can be made for a few of these but SEA CHARIOT comes here on the up so is taken to build on his Navan second and resume winning ways. Tachos heads the list of dangers on the back of her solid Gowran fifth ahead of in-form pair Walhaan and San Aer.
