Forecasts

Ballyheigue Bay (5/2), Midnight Tune (11/4), Minella Gathering (10/3), Oscar Jane (8/1), Jebs Gamble (9/1), Bostin (18/1), Blackwell Synergy (25/1), Tzar De L'Elfe (33/1)

Everything seems to be coming together for MINELLA GATHERING and he has a solid chance of following up his recent C&D success. Tzar De L'elfe may have needed time to acclimatise to British racing but is better than he has shown in his previous starts for his current yard. He is worth noting in the betting. Simlar comments apply to Jebs Gamble, who is likely to find improvement for being asked to try this longer trip.
