Forecasts

Brigid's Cloak (7/4), Belle Yeux (10/3), Movin And Groovin (9/2), Eric Lock (11/2), Charanda (12/1), Zaraahmando (16/1), Amavasya (16/1), James The Second (22/1)

A number of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for ERIC LOCK to build on his good recent Naas second and open his account. Brigid's Cloak is feared most, especially if the fitting of cheekpieces ekes out some improvement, with Movin And Groovin also weighted to have a say.
