Forecasts

Jack The Bachelor (9/4), Howd'yadoit (11/4), Monte Vista (10/3), Namiid (9/2), Eat Pray Run (11/1), Green Universe (20/1), Prairie Echoes (25/1), Cocotinha (25/1), Baahyeh (28/1), Disco Version (100/1), Arakiel (150/1)

JACK THE BACHELOR improved significantly when a close second at Tipperary last time, breaking well and only beaten half a length. He shapes as if best kept to 5f and looks ready to win. Howd'yadoit showed promise when second at Naas, travelling fluently though still learning. Namiid has progressed with each start and appears a promising type.
