Forecasts

Local Bay (5/2), Havana Mojito (11/4), Tronido (5/1), Voltaic (7/1), Starsong (9/1), Mashaan (12/1), Thanks Dad (14/1), Under Curfew (20/1), Purefoy (25/1), Invincible Navy (66/1)

HAVANA MOJITO had plenty to spare over 1m here 3 weeks ago so even an 8 lb rise may not prevent John Gallagher's charge going in again. Tony Carroll pair Voltaic and Local Bay could give him most to think about.
