Forecasts

We're Red And Blue (10/11), Jet To Vegas (3/1), Idaho Valley (7/2), Balcomie Breeze (16/1), Bo Cruz (18/1), Diamond Mix (25/1), Sam's Falcon (100/1), Didntgotwenty (125/1), Cage Rattler (125/1)

The market should reveal plenty but Donald McCain's Irish point scorer IDAHO VALLEY is taken to go in at the first time of asking in this sphere with Brian Hughes in the saddle. We're Red And Blue is much the pick of those with experience and rates a big threat though, with other newcomers Jet To Vegas and Bo Cruz also worthy of consideration.
