Forecasts

West Of Carrig (7/4), I Masked Du Potier (7/2), Arkhill (9/2), Made U Look (15/2), Bigbraveboy (15/2), Dromleigh (9/1), Chiefs Kingdom (10/1), Drive On Jimmey (11/1), Manlikemike (11/1), Long Road (18/1), I Am Rocco (20/1), Ask Mike (20/1), Midnight Moonshine (25/1), Tennessee Titan (28/1), Cold Old Fire (33/1), Sampoet (40/1), Cebu City (40/1), Mohera Prince (66/1), Mount Rinjani (100/1)

I MASKED DU POTIER has yet to race under Rules but assuming he handles the fences fine, he may well be up to the task given his ability in points. Similar comments apply to Arkhill so he's a threat, along with the more exposed West of Carrig.
