Forecasts

Tyrconnell (11/4), Jazz Festival (9/2), Nightjar (9/2), Nocturnal Flight (5/1), El Dante (5/1), Night Rocker (8/1), Dont Judge (14/1), Palermo (14/1), Down By The River (14/1), Red Mountain (16/1), Ralph The Rascal (16/1), Double Olympic (18/1), Future Saint (28/1), Oh My Word Its Roy (40/1)

NIGHT ROCKER looks marginally the pick of these but it promises to be touch and go. Double Olympic appeals most of the remainder, while Nightjar shouldn't be ruled out.
