Forecasts

Counterculture (4/1), Altimara (11/2), Touted Plan (11/2), Neo Smart (6/1), Enchanted Garden (15/2), Sun Soldier (8/1), Dark Viper (8/1), Sunriseontheboyne (10/1), Facethepuckout (16/1), Gangsta Man (16/1), Ferrybank (18/1), Rockbury Lad (25/1), Brandon Creek (25/1), Spent All Me Money (25/1), Goin' (50/1), Evangelic (80/1)

Verdict

DARK VIPER has been freshened up since 2 runs in quick succession at the end of July and might be able to give the weight away. The hat-trick seeking Altimara heads the many dangers along with Neo Smart, Facethepuckout, the mount of Colin Keane, and Counterculture.
