Forecasts

Goraibhmaithagat (7/2), Kish Bank (4/1), Kobalt St Georges (11/2), Three In A Row (13/2), Rusheen (7/1), He's Gorgeous (15/2), Magic McColgan (11/1), Mywayofthinkin (12/1), The Busy Fool (16/1), Insouciant Dallier (25/1), Harvard Guy (40/1), Park Of Kings (40/1)

Plenty to consider but GORAIBHMAITHAGAT seems to be building up to something so shades the vote. Last-time-out winners Kish Bank and Rusheen head the dangers.
