Forecasts

Having A Barney (7/4), Mount South (11/4), Something Golden (7/2), Limerick Leader (9/2), Dedanser (6/1), Topkapi Star (8/1), Misscarlett (8/1), Blazing Port (10/1), Hungry Tiger (12/1), Serious Mickey (20/1), Penthouse Poppet (22/1), Enemy At The Gate (33/1), Robert Johnson (66/1)

MOUNT SOUTH found improvement for a switch to handicaps when third at Uttoxeter last time and, with another step forward likely, he's preferred to Limerick Leader, who should benefit from a return to hurdling. Having A Barney is another one to consider.
