Forecasts

In A Sonnet (11/10), Counting Coup (7/2), Seven Towers (4/1), Bravewave (7/1), Some See Stars (12/1), Doreys Forge (22/1), Go To The Moon (25/1), Blaze Of Honour (28/1), Hurricane Leaf (28/1), Bernie's Rainbow (66/1), Jukebox Charlie (80/1), Mary's Up In Court (150/1), Wild Eagle (150/1), Carrigeen Kirkia (400/1), Go On Ta (400/1)

Verdict
