Forecasts

Clear Skies (7/4), Elishpour (9/4), Abraham (5/1), My Direction (6/1), Here For The Craic (8/1), Laid Back Luke (12/1), Political Policy (16/1), Winter Lion (16/1), Poitin (25/1), Sharjah (33/1), Magna Cartor (33/1), Paddy The Celeb (40/1), Shalaman (66/1)

It is really hard to get away from CLEAR SKIES in her current form and could get a decent pull in to the contest from Laid Back Luke, Winter Lion and Magna Cartor. The improving Elishpour and Here For The Craic, 2L behind Clear Skies last time out can grab a place.
