Forecasts

Good Time Ahead (11/10), Ballard Down (2/1), Highland Bobby (3/1), Perpignan (16/1), Meagher's Flag (16/1)

A weak contest with runners arriving from different codes and if the wind operation helps him see the race out, this could be the day HIGHLAND BOBBY gets his head in front over hurdles. Ballard Down is of some interest now hurdling and is preferred to Good Time Ahead for the runner up position.
