Forecasts
Ballyoptic (10/11), West Approach (7/4), Black Corton (4/1)
Cases can be made for all three of these. Black Corton has been skilfully placed and has to be respected, but he meets two potential top-notchers in West Approach and BALLYOPTIC. The latter is extremely tough and may be able to grind this out up the hill.
