Forecasts

Whats New (9/4), Straightenyourhand (4/1), Earthwatch (9/2), Open Approach (6/1), Clanokre Lass (8/1), Dahoma (10/1), Shakita (20/1), William F Browne (20/1), The Chancie Grey (20/1), Magna Gee Gee (25/1), Johnny Rambo (25/1), Laligurash (33/1), Stone Rulya (50/1), Mambo Du Large (50/1), Nuestro Caballo (50/1), Mirfaq (50/1), The West A Yeats (50/1)

A weak maiden hurdle and WHATS NEW might be able to get the job done. Open Approach is an interesting newcomer for Gordon Elliott, while Earthwatch has a bigger effort in him in this sphere.
